Lyrics
LOVE IS IN THE DETAILS
Mama worked the night shift
And Daddy'd pick her up every morning
And he'd always bring her coffee
When they got home
Sometimes he'd rub her feet
She smiled that smile that says, "Somebody loves me."
I learned a lot from what he told me
I learned a whole lot more from the way he showed me?
chorus
Love Is In The Details
You gotta get the small stuff right
Your whole life
In everything you do
It?s always in the details
Little things make a difference
The house you build is strong as the nails
Love Is In The Details
I bought my wife a diamond
When we were married fifteen years
She cried when she said, you didn't have to
'Cause you brought me breakfast
On that old wooden tray
You do so many things I never have to ask you
You call to say I love you whenever you're away
And when you squeeze my hand it tells me things words could never say?
chorus
bridge
Grandpa would have been married
Fifty years in June
But grandma passed away in December
I asked him? how do you make it last so long?
He said, hold her hand on Sunday walks
Listen close when she talks and remember?.
chorus
