Lyrics:

There's a lot of ways of sayin' what I want to 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 you I'd just love to lay you down.

Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear.
Lay you down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear.
I'll let you know how much it means just having you around:
Oh darlin', how I'd love to lay you down.

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 still love to lay you down.

Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear.
Lay you down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear.
I'll let you know how much it means just having you around:
Oh darlin', how I'd love to lay you down.

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'd still love to lay you down.

Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear.
Lay you down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear.
I'll let you know how much it means just having you around:
Oh darlin', how I'd love to lay you down.

Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear.
Lay you down and tell you all the things my woman loves to hear.
I'll let you know how much it means just having you around:
Oh darlin', how I'd love to lay you down.

Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear.
Lay you down and tell you all the things my woman loves to hear.
I'll let you know how much it means just having you around:
Oh darlin', how I'd love to lay you down.
