[Verse]
G
There?s a lot of ways of sayin? what I wanna say to you,
D
There?s songs and poems and promises and
C G
dreams that might come true,
C G
But I won?t talk of starry skies or moonlight on the ground,
D
I'll come right out and tell ya,
C G
I'd just love to lay ya down,
[Chorus]
G
Lay ya down and softly whisper,
pretty love words in your ear,
D
Lay ya down and tell ya all the things
A C G
woman loves to hear,
C G
I'll let you know how much it means just havin? you around,
D C G
Oh, darlin? how I'd love to lay ya down,
[Verse]
There?s so many ways your sweet love?s
made this house into a home,
D C G
You?ve got a way of doin? little things that turn me on,
C G
Like standin? in the kitchen, in your faded cotton gown,
D
With your hair all up in curlers I'd still
C G
love to lay you down,
[Chorus]
G
Lay ya down and softly whisper,
pretty love words in your ear,
D
Lay ya down and tell ya all the things
A C G
woman loves to hear,
C G
I'll let you know how much it means just havin? you around,
D C G
Oh, darlin? how I'd love to lay ya down,
[Verse]
G
When a whole lot of Decembers,
are showin? in your face,
D
Your auburn hair has faded and,
C G
Silver takes it?s place,
C G
You?ll be just as lovely, and I'll still be around,
D C G
And If I can I know that I'll still love to lay you down,
[Chorus] (x2)
G
Lay ya down and softly whisper,
pretty love words in your ear,
D
Lay ya down and tell ya all the things
A C G
woman loves to hear,
C G
I'll let you know how much it means just havin? you around,
D C G
Oh, darlin? how I'd love to lay ya down,
