"'I'd Love to Lay You Down'" is a song written by Johnny MacRae, and recorded by American country music artist Conway Twitty. It was released in January 1980 as the first single from the album 'Heart & Soul'. The song was Twitty's 24th number one on the country chart. The single stayed at number one for one week. The song has sold 300,000 digital copies since becoming available for download.
In 2002, Daryle Singletary released a remake, which went to number 43 on the same chart.
Conway's version of this song features an extremely unusual series of key changes: the song progressively lowers in key instead of the musical standard of changing keys upwards.
Chris Young references this song in his single "I Can Take It from There".
