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
  C              G
A 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
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
  C              G
A 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]
G
Lay ya down and softly whisper, pretty love words in your ear,
       D
Lay ya down and tell ya all the things
  C              G
A 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,

[Chorus]
G
Lay ya down and softly whisper, pretty love words in your ear,
       D
Lay ya down and tell ya all the things
  C              G
A 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,
