Chris Difford Lyrics
"The Still & The Sparkling"

I love every evening
I love every morning
I'm happy to be here
Right by your side

This house is so empty
When you are not with me
Here on my journey
Where two roads divide

I love how we cradle
I love how we snuggle
The best of our feelings
Like children, just go on

The still & the sparkle
That comes from your brown eyes
I pulling me closer
To feeling so....

I love how we meet up
And sit close together
I love how we say things
That could mean so much

When I have to drive home
Why I sit and wonder
If I should have pushed you
To reach for your love

And I am so careful
To not seem complacement
To not be so stuck with that things that I do

I buy you sweet roses
I bring you my poems
I cross every mountain
To be close to you

[bridge]

I love bein' lonely
I love bein' single
Here in this darkness
I'm safe within time

I know you'll release me
And bring me to your heart
Where I'll wait forever
For you to be mine

And I am so careful
To not seem so eager
To not be the one who seems so pushy and cruel

The still & the sparkle
That comes from your brown eyes
Is pulling me closer

I love bein' lonely
I love bein' single
I'll buy you sweet roses

If only I'd wake up
And be next to you

If only I'd wake up
And be close to you

If only I'd wake up
