D
There's a lot of ways of sayin' what I want to say to you.
A7 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,
A7 D
I'll come right out and tell ya I'd just love to lay you down
(CHORUS)
D
Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear,
A7 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,
A7 D
Oh Darlin' how I'd love to lay ya down.
D
There's so many ways your sweet love's made this house into a home
A7 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,
A7 G D
with your hair all up in curlers, I'd still love to lay you down.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
D (stop) D (stop)
When a whole lot of Decembers are showin' in your face,
A7 G D
Your auburn hair has faded and silver takes it's place,
D
You'll be just a lovely, and I'll still be around,
A7 G D
and if I can I know that I'll still love to lay you down.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
