You poured sugar in my coffee

Laughing at the way I stir

You said

“Baby

Don’t be lonely”

And I almost said the word

Every joke you drop

I’m falling

Every glance

I lose my ground

You touch my hand so lightly

And my heart forgets the sound

It’s your sweet words

It’s your sweet smile

Pulling me close

Staying a while

I didn’t know love

Could feel this mild and wild

All I need in this world

Is your sweet words

Your sweet smile

You write notes on folded napkins

Hide them in my coat and sleeves

Little lines about the weather

Turn to truth I wanna keep

You mispronounce my last name

Just to hear me say yours right

We trade stories in the drive-thru

Turn a parking lot to light

It’s your sweet words

It’s your sweet smile

Pulling me close

Staying a while

I didn’t know love

Could feel this mild and wild

All I need in this world

Is your sweet words

Your sweet smile

One day we’ll grow older

Chipped mugs

Crooked frames

But I’ll still hang on every syllable

Every way you say my name (oh)

When the days get heavy

And the nights run long

You’ll look up and I’ll remember

Why my heart wrote you this song

It’s your sweet words

It’s your sweet smile

Pulling me close

Staying a while

I didn’t know love

Could feel this mild and wild

All I need in this world

Is your sweet words

Your sweet smile

All I need

All the time

Is your sweet words

Your sweet smile
