The way you fix my tie in the morning and always brush my coat before I go
The hurried kiss I get from you when I'm leaving
It's the little things that make me love you so

The way you take my arm when we go walking
The way you hold my hand when we're at a show
The way your eyes say more than you when we're talking

It's the little things that make me love you so
Those little things you knew that make me love you
They're all I need to make my dreams come true
And you know what tears me all to pieces

Is the way you tell me that you love me too
The way you know just how I like my coffee
And how you chase away my every care
And the way you go around turning lights down low

It's the little things that make me love you so
It's the little things that make me love you so
