I can see it in your eyes
They say that something’s not the same
I can hear it in your voice
In just the way you say my name
You don’t do the little things
You always used to do
That told me that you loved me
And that brought me close to you

Like buying me a special card
To brighten up my day
Or calling just to say “Hello”
And that you’re on your way
You no longer play my favorite songs
When we are in the car
Or plan a weekend getaway
To somewhere near or far

Love’s about the little things
It’s the little things I miss
The way you used to hold my hand
An unexpected kiss
I want all the little things
The way it used to be
The million tiny little things
That made us you and me

Now you sit and read a book
Or stare down at your phone
I sit at my computer
Still together but alone
I don’t know how to fix this
Or to try to make it right
I only know that we’re two ships
Just passing in the night

I ask if you still love me
And you tell me that you do
But I know that you say it
Just because I want you to
You claim that all is fine
This is the way it’s ‘sposed to be
But the magic isn’t happening
Or at least it’s not for me

Love’s about the little things
It’s the little things I miss
The way you used to hold my hand
An unexpected kiss
There’s no life without the little things
You always used to do
The little things
That were the biggest part of me and you
