1. There's a lot of ways of saying what I want to say to you,

A

there's songs and poems and promises

G D

and dreams that might come true.

D

But I won't talk of starry skies or moonlight on the ground,

A G D

I'll come right out and tell you I'd just love to lay you down.

- - - - - - D

Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear,

A G D

lay you down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear.

D

I'll let you know how much it means just having you around,

A G D

oh, darling, how I'd love to lay you down.

D

2. There's so many ways your sweet love's

made this house into a home

A G D

you've got a way of doing little things that turn me on.

D

Like standing in the kitchen in your faded cotton gown,

A G D

with your hair all up in curlers I still love to lay you down. + CHORUS

D

3. When a whole lot of Decembers are showing in your face,

A G D

your auburn hair has faded and silver takes it's place,

D

you'll be just as 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
