THERE'S A LOTTA WAYS
OF SAYIN'
WHAT I WANNA 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
A WOMAN LOVES TO HEAR
AND I'LL LET YOU KNOW
HOW MUCH IT MEANS
JUST HAVIN' YOU AROUND
OH DARLIN' HOW I'D LOVE
TO LAY YOU DOWN
THERE'S SO MANY WAYS
YOUR SWEET LOVE'S
MADE THIS HOUSE
INTO A HOME
YOU'VE GOT A WAY
OF DOIN' LITTLE THINGS
THAT TURN ME ON
LIKE STANDING
IN THE KITCHEN
IN YOUR FADED
COTTON GOWN
WITH YOUR HAIR
ALL UP IN CURLERS
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
A WOMAN LOVES TO HEAR
AND I'LL LET YOU KNOW
HOW MUCH IT MEANS
JUST HAVIN' YOU AROUND
OH DARLIN' HOW I'D LOVE
TO LAY YOU DOWN
WHEN A WHOLE LOT
OF DECEMBERS
ARE SHOWIN'
IN YOUR FACE
YOUR AUBURN HAIR
HAS FADED
AND SILVER
TAKES ITS PLACE
WELL 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
A WOMAN LOVES TO HEAR
AND I'LL LET YOU KNOW
HOW MUCH IT MEANS
JUST HAVIN' YOU AROUND
OH DARLIN' HOW I'D 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
A WOMAN LOVES TO HEAR
AND I'LL LET YOU KNOW
HOW MUCH IT MEANS
JUST HAVIN' YOU AROUND
OH DARLIN' HOW I'D LOVE
TO LAY YOU DOWN
OH DARLIN' HOW I'D LOVE
TO LAY YOU DOWN
