[N] Well, this next song I'm going to do, I already heard it once today, but I guess that's alright.
It's actually one [D] of the first songs I ever heard [G] recorded by [D#m] my dad doing by Conway,
and I [F#] figured that I may as well be the one I do today, [D] so I hope you all enjoy it.
There's a lot of ways to see what I want to see
[A] There's songs and poems and promises [D] and dreams that might come true
But I won't talk, the starry skies are blue out on the ground
[A] I'll come right out and tell you I [G] just love to [D] lay down
Lay down, softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
Lay [A] down, tell you all the [G] things the world wants to [D] hear
I'll let you know how much it means just having you around
Oh [A]
darling, now [Gm] I love to lay [D]
down
There's so many ways your sweet love may just house into a home
[A] You got a way of doing little [D] old things that turn me on
Like sitting in the kitchen in your faded cotton gown
[A] With your hair all up in curls, [Gm] I still love to lay [D] down
[Gm] Lay [D] down, softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
Lay [A] down, tell you all the things [Gm] the world wants [D] to hear
I'll let you know how much it means just having you around
[A] Oh darling, now [D] I love to lay [D]
down
When the whole night of December's all showing [F#] in your face
Your [A] auburn hair is fading [D] in and [Gm] silver takes its place
[D] Well you'll be [E] just as lovely and I'll still be around
And [A] if I can I know that [Gm] I still love to lay [D] down
Lay down, softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
Lay [A] down, tell you all the [D] things my woman wants to hear
I'll let you know how much it means just having you around
[A] Oh darling, now I love to [Gm] lay down
Lay [C] down, softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
[G] Lay down, tell you all the things [F] my woman wants to hear
