There's a lot of ways of saying    What I want to say to you   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   I'll come right out and tell you    I'd just love to lay you down      Lay you down and softly whisper    Pretty love words in your ear   Lay you down and tell you all the things    My woman loves to hear   I'll let you know how much it means    Having you around   Oh, darlin' how I'd love to lay you down      There's so many ways your sweet love    Made this house into a home   You've got a way of doing    Little things that turn me on   Like standing in the kitchen    In your faded cotton gown   With your hair all up in curlers    I still love to lay you down      Lay you down and softly whisper    Pretty love words in your ear   Lay you down and tell you all the things    My woman loves to hear   I'll let you know how much it means    Having you around   Oh, darlin' how I'd love to lay you down      Now, When a whole lot of Decembers    Are showin' in your face   Your auburn hair has faded    And silver takes it's place   You'll be just as lovely and I'll still be around   And if I can I know that    I'd still love to lay you down      Lay you down and softly whisper    Pretty love words in your ear   Lay you down and tell you all the things    My woman loves to hear   I'll let you know how much it means    Having you around   Oh, darlin' how I'd love to lay you down      Oh, darlin' how I'd love   Oh, darlin' how I'd love to lay you down...
