Oh you're such a pretty thing I'll take you and I'll make you all mine I would steal you from this patient world let it chase us It could never take you back We could watch it from the clouds We can't stop it anyhow It's not ours We could watch it from the clouds We can't stop it anyhow It's not ours It's not all ours I know you know me well enough To know I'm lucky to have you But oh, it's just the little things The words that I should tell you all the time Like you're so sweet to me When you beat me in double solitaire You're so sweet to me In a world that's not always fair We could watch it from the clouds We can't stop it anyhow It's not ours We could watch it from the clouds We can't stop it anyhow It's not ours The more love that you feel The more your little heart will ache Love is the only thing that carries on It's the only thing this world can't take This love is ours This love is ours This love is ooh This love is ooh Oh, you're such a pretty thing I'll take you and I'll make you all mine
