Little Things
Lyrics:
[English]
(soft acoustic guitar music)
♪ Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me ♪
♪ But bear this mind, it was meant to be ♪
♪ And I'm joining up the dots ♪
♪ With the freckles on your cheeks ♪
♪ And it all makes sense to me ♪
♪ I know you've never loved ♪
♪ The crinkles by your eyes when you smile ♪
♪ You've never loved your stomach or your thighs ♪
♪ The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine ♪
♪ But I'll love them endlessly ♪
♪ I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth ♪
♪ But if I do, it's you ♪
♪ Oh, it's you they add up to ♪
♪ I'm in love with you ♪
♪ And all these little things ♪
♪ You can't go to bed without a cup of tea ♪
♪ And maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep ♪
♪ And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep ♪
♪ Though it makes no sense to me ♪
♪ I know you never loved the sound of your voice on tape ♪
♪ You never want to know how much you weigh ♪
♪ You still have to squeeze into your jeans ♪
♪ But you're perfect to me ♪
♪ I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth ♪
♪ But if it's true, it's you ♪
♪ It's you they add up to ♪
♪ I'm in love with you ♪
♪ And all these little things ♪
♪ You'll never love yourself half as much as I love you ♪
♪ And you'll never treat yourself right, darling ♪
♪ But I want you to ♪
♪ If I let you know I'm here for you ♪
♪ Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you, oh ♪
♪ And I've just let these little things slip out of my mouth ♪
♪ 'Cause it's you, oh, it's you ♪
♪ It's you they add up to ♪
♪ And I'm in love with you ♪
♪ And all these little things ♪
♪ I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth ♪
♪ But if it's true, it's you ♪
♪ It's you they add up to ♪
♪ I'm in love with you ♪
♪ And all your little things ♪
