Little Things of Love

Someone sent you roses today

The writing on the card wasn’t mine

Baby, I just don’t what to say

I’m so scared it seems you’ve crossed a line

Lately you’ve been wearing a new perfume

It’s not a scent you’ve worn before

Are you putting it on for someone new?

Or just something you liked at the store?

I know you need the little things of love

Whispered words and soft gentle hugs

Baby, I know it is simple enough

But I’ve been neglecting the little things of love

I haven’t said “I love you” all that much

I took it for granted you knew

So before you leave for another lover’s touch

I just wanted to tell you how much I love you

Baby, I’m ready to make a brand new start

I don’t think I am too old to learn

Someway, somehow I will get back in your heart

Just promise to have those roses returned
