Just the Small Things

You bring water to my side

Wipe the crumbs you tried to hide

You fix pillows when I yawn

Check the locks before the dawn

You don’t talk about romance

But you hold me when you dance

Every day’s a quiet show

Of the love you always know

You don’t tell me I’m your world

You just let the love unfold

It’s just the small things you do

Like the morning I see you

Like the way you hum a song

Even when the chords are wrong

It’s not diamonds, it’s not rings

It’s the tiniest of things

That make your love feel so true—

It’s just the small things you do

You don’t post it, don’t parade

But in silence, you have stayed

Even notes you never write

Feel like stars inside the night

You don’t shine with golden wings—

But I live for small things
