There’s a lot of ways of saying what I wanna say to youThere’s songs and poems and promises and dreams that might come trueBut I won’t talk of starry skies or moonlight on the groundI’ll come right out and tell you, I’d just love to lay you downLay you down and softly whisperPretty love words in your earLay you down and tell you all the thingsA woman loves to hearI’ll let you know how much it means just havin’ you aroundOh, darlin’, how I’d love to lay you downThere’s so many ways, your sweet love’s made this house into a homeYou’ve got a way of doing little things that turn me onLike standing in the kitchen in your faded cotton gownWith your hair all up in curlers, I still love to lay you downLay you down and softly whisperPretty love words in your earLay you down and tell you all the thingsA woman loves to hearI’ll let you know how much it means just havin’ you aroundOh, darlin’, how I’d love to lay you downWhen a whole lot of Decembers are showin’ in your faceYour auburn hair has faded and silver takes its placeYou’ll be just as lovely and I’ll still be aroundAnd if I can’t, I know that I’d still love to lay you downLay you down and softly whisperPretty love words in your earLay you down and tell you all the thingsA woman loves to hearI’ll let you know how much it means just havin’ you aroundOh, darlin’, how I’d love to lay you downLay you down and softly whisperPretty love words in your earLay you down and tell you all the thingsMy woman loves to hearI’ll let you know how much it means just havin’ you aroundOh, darlin’, how I love to lay you downLay you down and softly whisperPretty love words in your earLay you down and tell you all the thingsMy woman loves to hearI’ll let you know how much it means just havin’ you aroundOh, darlin’, how I love to lay you down
