And never quite found an answer that fit
Carried on searching, things were always amiss
Philosophy and platitudes weren't enough to render
All world seemed to have been remiss
While feeling and fact seemed torn asunder
But now I know
It's the warmth of your embrace
On a cold, windy night
It's the spot on your shoulder that seems just right,
The glee on your face when you're surprised
Your petulance when you're annoyed
It's the longing in your eyes
When we've been apart for a while
It's these little things that make me smile
It can't be that love's blind
For how would I see you?
And opposites cannot attract
If it has to be a meeting of minds too
Certainly not happiness and mush because
Without pain and sadness they aren't worth much
But now I know
It's the warmth of your embrace
On a cold, windy night
It's the spot on your shoulder that seems just right,
The glee on your face when you're surprised
Your petulance when you're annoyed
It's the longing in your eyes
When we've been apart for a while
It's these little things that make me smile
We quarrel and we make up
And though the hurt sometimes stays
It's the hope that makes you wake up
Wishing the eternity of these days
It's appreciating the other for every little thing
Wanting to stick together minus or pluz the zing
Thinking of all that while my heart floods like the Nile
It's these little things that make me smile
I knew not what love was
But now I know
It's the warmth of your embrace
On a cold, windy night
It's the spot on your shoulder that seems just right,
The glee on your face when you're surprised
Your petulance when you're annoyed
It's the longing in your eyes
When we've been apart for a while
It's these little things that make me smile
