Biography

American Country singing star who started out singing rock & roll. Originally a '50s rock & roll singer, Conway Twitty became the reigning country superstar of the '70s and '80s, racking up a record 40 number one hits over the course of two decades. With his deep, resonant down-home voice, Twitty was one of the smoothest balladeers to work in Nashville during the country-pop era, but he was also one of the most adventurous. More than any other singer, he was responsible for selling country as an "adult" music, slipping sexually suggestive lyrics into his lush productions, yet never singing misogynist lyrics; by and large, his songs were sensitive and sensual, which is part of the reason why he achieved such a large success. Once Twitty reached the top of the country charts in the late '60s, he stayed there for years on end, releasing a consistent stream of Top Ten hits that both defined and expanded the limitations of country-pop by adding subtle R&B, pop, and rock & roll influences. Though he had some pop success, Twitty remained country to the core; occasionally, his song titles were simply too corny, which was why he retained his popularity until his death in 1993, aged 59. Son [a=Michael Twitty], daughter [a=Joni Twitty], daughter [a=Kathy Twitty], and son [a=Jimmy Twitty].

LYRICS

There's a lot of ways of sayin' what I want to say to you
There's songs and poems and promises of 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
I'll let you know how much it means just havin' you around
Oh darlin' how I love to lay you down

There's so many ways your sweet love made this house into a home
Through raisin' kids and housework baby, you still turn me on
Even standin' in the kitchen in you 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
I'll let you know how much it means just havin' you around
Oh darlin' how I love to lay you down

When a whole lot of decemers are showin' on your face
And your auburn hair has faded and silver takes it's place
You'll still be just as lovely, and I'll still be around
And if I can I know that I'll 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
I'll let you know how much it means just havin' you around
Oh darlin' how I love to lay you down
