I'd Love to Lay You Down
Timeless Love Whispers: Daryle Singletary's 'I'd Love to Lay You Down'
Lyrics
There's a lot of ways of sayin' what I want to say to you
Expressing the variety of ways to convey feelings.
There's songs and poems and promises of dreams that might come true
Acknowledging different mediums like songs, poems, and promises.
But I won't talk of starry skies or moonlight on the ground
Choosing not to use clichés like starry skies and moonlight.
I'll come right out and tell you, I'd just love to lay you down
Directly expressing the desire to be intimate.
Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
Describing the intention to lay the partner down and speak loving words.
Lay you down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear
Expressing a willingness to communicate affectionate sentiments.
I'll let you know how much it means just havin' you around
Conveying the significance of the partner's presence.
Oh darlin' how I love to lay you down
Reiterating the strong desire to be close and intimate.
There's so many ways your sweet love made this house into a home
Crediting the partner's love for turning a house into a home.
Through raisin' kids and housework baby, you still turn me on
Highlighting attraction despite the challenges of family life.
Even standin' in the kitchen in you faded cotton gown
Emphasizing love even in mundane moments, like in the kitchen.
With your hair all up in curlers, I'd still love to lay you down
Expressing love regardless of appearance, with hair in curlers.
Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
Repeating the desire to speak sweet words and be close.
Lay you down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear
Continuing to express the willingness to say what a woman loves.
I'll let you know how much it means just havin' you around
Reiterating the importance of having the partner around.
Oh darlin' how I love to lay you down
Affirming the strong emotional connection and desire.
When a whole lot of decemers are showin' on your face
Anticipating the aging process and the enduring beauty of the partner.
And your auburn hair has faded and silver takes it's place
Accepting changes like graying hair but maintaining love.
You'll still be just as lovely, and I'll still be around
Asserting that the partner will remain lovely, and the love will persist.
And if I can I know that I'll still love to lay you down
Expressing the intention to continue loving even as time passes.
Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
Repeating the desire to lay the partner down and speak sweetly.
Lay you down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear
Continuing to express the willingness to say affectionate words.
I'll let you know how much it means just havin' you around
Reiterating the significance of having the partner in one's life.
Oh darlin' how I love to lay you down
Affirming the enduring love and the desire to be close.
