There's a lot of way 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
But I'll come right out and tell ya I'd just love to lay ya down
Lay ya down and softly whisper, pretty love words in your ear
Lay ya down and tell you all the things my woman loves to hear
I'd let you know how much it means havin' you around
And Oh darlin' how I'd love you lay you down
(Now the song changes key as Conway's version is played )
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 ya down
(Now it goes back to G )
Lay you down and softly whisper, pretty love words in your ear
Lay ya down and tell you all the things my woman loves to hear
I'd let you know how much it means havin' you around
And oh darlin' how I'd love to lay ya down
G * G *
Your auburn hair has faded and silver takes its place
You'll be just as lovely, and I'll still be around
And if I can I know that I'd still love to lay ya down
Lay ya down and softly whisper, pretty love words in you ear
Lay ya down and tell you all the things my woman loves to hear
I'd let you know how much it means havin' you around
Oh darlin' how I'd love to lay you down
Oh darlin how I'd love Oh darlin how I'd love to lay you down
