Richard Montefiore - So Small Lyrics

I can't imagine life without these simple things
A whisper from your lips, the memory it brings
Tomorrow we may see, a stronger brighter day
But meanwhile, you and I can chase these clouds away

Just hold these simple things
Close to you and me
Our children, their laughter
Watching them run free

Each morning you wake me, tenderly unfold
The petals of my sleep, brush away the cold

I stumble in with breakfast as the sun pours in
Tea and toast for everybody, such a simple thing

Now we say goodbye
Now the journey starts
Keep me in your memory
Hold me in your heart

Just hold these simple things, close to you and me
Our children, their laughter, watching them run free

We both know what we wanted
We both know what we have
But when it all shakes out
The simple things just don't seem so bad

I lie awake at night in awe of simple things
The moonlight in your hair, your breath upon my skin

Just hold me, a moment longer...

Just hold these simple things, close to you and me
Our children, their laughter, watching them run free

We both know what we wanted
We both know what we have
The things we live without
Are not the things that drive us mad
And when it all is counted
Yes when it all gets done
If you're still here to guide me
You know we are the lucky ones
