Here's my transcription from the recording at Nicolette Larson's MySpace page. There are a couple of gaps where I found the lyrics unintelligible.


SAY YOU WILL
Written by Gary Ogan & Leon Russell.

1. Darling, cradle this love of mine
In a place close to your breast.
Take this heart that beats for you
To the place that you love best.
Spend your lifetime wanting me half as much as I want you,
And I will go to the end of the earth.

[CHORUS] Just say you will.
Say you will.
Say you will, woo-ooh-ooh.
Say you will.
Say you will.

2. Won't you just take hold of my hand
And lead me back to the light
That shines on the highway home
And we'll live like we thought I might.
Somehow you make me ... know like I've got a place for me.
Love gets stronger as we go. [CHORUS]

[BRIDGE] Storms are raging cross the land
Taking me from the light.
Darling, please understand
...

[REPEAT VERSE 1 AND CHORUS.]


[This song has been recorded by Leon & Mary Russell on "Make Love to the Music" (1977), by Maria Muldaur on "Southern Winds" (1978), and by Nicolette Larson on "All Dressed Up & No Place to Go" (1982). There are several other songs with the same title.]

Almost. Here's my hearing of it:

Darling, cradle this love of mine
In a place close to your breast
Take this heart that beats for you
To the place that you love best

Spend your lifetime wanting me
Half as much as I want you
And I will go to the end of my life
Just say you will

[Chorus]
Say you will
Say you will, woo-ooh-ooh
Say you will
Say you will

Won't you just take hold of my hand
And lead me back to the light
That shines on the highway home
And we'll live like we thought I might

Somehow you make me really know
That God's got a got a place for me
Love gets stronger as we go
Just say you will

[chorus]

Storms are raging 'cross the land
(Storms are raging 'cross the land)
Taking me from the light
(Taking me from the light)
Darling, please understand
Lead me to a quiet night

Darling, cradle this love of mine
(Cradle this love)
In a place close to your breast
(Oh, take this heart)
Take this heart that beats for you
To the place that you love best

Spend your lifetime wanting me
Half as much as I want you
And I will go to the end of my life
Just say you will

[chorus x2]

I don't know if this will be of help. May give some other recordings from which to pin down missing phrases.
