[Intro] D [Verse] D There's a lot of ways of sayin', what I want to say to you. A G D 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, A G Dai I'll come right out and tell ya, I'd just love to lay you down.s. [Chorus] D Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear, A G D 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, A D Oh Darlin' how I'd love to lay ya down. [Verse] D There's so many ways your sweet love's made this house into a home, A G D You've got a way of doin' little things that turn me on. Like standin' in the kitchen, in your faded cotton gown, A G D With your hair all up in curlers, I'd still love to lay you down. [Chorus] D Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear, A G D 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, A D Oh Darlin' how I'd love to lay ya down. [Verse] D When a whole lot of Decembers are showin' in your face, A G D Your auburn hair has faded and silver takes it's place, You'll be just a lovely, and I'll still be around, A G D And if I can I know that I'll still love to lay you down. [Chorus] D Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear, A G D 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, A D Oh Darlin' how I'd love to lay ya down.
