Little by little
You got near
Little by little
You stayed right here
It was never like a lightning
Never like a sudden flame
Just a hand beside the table
And the way you said my name
Little moments kept on landing
Small as dust inside the sun
Till the air between us softened
And two rhythms moved as one
Day by day
Step by step
What was quiet
Has not left
Little by little
You got in
Under my guard
Under my skin
Little by little
Soft and true
All of my days
Started sounding like you
Coffee stains and open windows
Records turning low and sweet
Every hour held a secret
In the way our glances meet
No big promise, no performance
No great speech to make it shine
Just your laughter in the daylight
Slowly leaning into mine
Day by day
Step by step
What was quiet
Has not left
Little by little
You got in
Under my guard
Under my skin
Little by little
Soft and true
All of my days
Started sounding like you
Little by little
You got in
Under my guard
Under my skin
Little by little
Soft and true
All of my days
Started sounding like you
Little by little
Now I see
How this soft light
Stayed with me
