THERE'S A LOT OF WAYS OF SAYIN WHAT I WANNA SAY TO YOU
THERE'S SONGS AND POEMS AND PROMISES AND DREAMS
THAT MIGHT COME TRUE
BUT I WON'T TALK OF STARRY SKIES OR MOONLIGHT ON THE GROUND
I'LL COME RIGHT OUT AND TELL YA
I'D JUST LOVE TO LAY YA DOWN
(N.C.) LAY YA DOWN AND SOFTLY WHISPER
PRETTY LOVE WORDS IN YOUR EAR
LAY YA DOWN AND TELL YA ALL THE THINGS
A WOMAN LOVES TO HEAR
I'LL LET YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT MEANS
JUST HAVIN YOU AROUND
OH DARLIN HOW I'D LOVE TO LAY YA DOWN
(N.C.) THERE'S SO MANY WAYS YOUR SWEET LOVE'S
MADE THIS HOUSE INTO A HOME
YOU'VE GOT A WAY OF DOIN LITTLE THINGS THAT TURN ME ON
LIKE STANDIN IN THE KITCHEN, IN YOUR FADED COTTON GOWN
WITH YOUR HAIR ALL UP IN CURLERS
I'D STILL LOVE TO LAY YOU DOWN
REPEAT Chorus
(N.C.) WHEN A WHOLE LOT OF DECEMBERS
ARE SHOWIN IN YOUR FACE
YOUR AUBURN HAIR HAS FADED AND SILVER TAKES IT'S PLACE
YOU'LL BE JUST AS LOVELY, AND I'LL STILL BE AROUND
AND IF I CAN I KNOW THAT I'LL STILL LOVE TO LAY YOU DOWN
