I'd Just Love To Lay You Down - Conway Twitty

Intro |D|/|D A7|D|

1. Strophe

There's a lot of ways of saying what I want to say to you
A7
There's songs and poems and promises
G D
and dreams that might come true.

But I won't talk of starry skys or moonlight on the ground,
A7 G D
I'll come right out and tell you I'd just love to lay you down.

1. Refrain

Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear.
A7 G D
Lay you down and tell you all the things a women loves to hear.

I'll let you know how much it means just having you around,
A7 D A7 D
oh darling how I'd love to lay you down.

2. Strophe

There's so many ways your sweet love made this house into a home,
A7 G D
you've got a way of doing little things that turn me on.

Like standing in the kitchen in your faded cotton gown,
A7 G D
with your hair all up in curlers I still love to lay you down.

2. Refrain

Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear.
A7 G D
Lay you down and tell you all the things a women loves to hear.

I'll let you know how much it means just having you around,
A7 D A7 D
oh darling how I'd love to lay you down.

3. Strophe

When a whole lot of Decembers are showing in your face,
A7 G D
your auburn hair has faded and silver takes it's place.

You'll be just as lovely and I'll still be around,
A7 G D
and if I can I know I'd still love to lay you down.

3. Refrain

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

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