The Quiet Kind of Love

You know I take my coffee strong And talk too much when

something’s wrong You let me finish every thought

Even when I lose the plot

You don’t pretend my jokes are good You laugh at them when

you think you should And when I come home tired and mean

You ask me what I need

I thought love had to leave me breathless

Keep me guessing every day

Then you came along and showed me

There was another way

It’s the quiet kind of love

That I never knew I wanted

No big promises to keep

No perfect words to say

Just your hand finding mine At the end of an ordinary day

And I don’t have to be anybody else When you look at

me that way

Oh, the quiet kind of love

Makes me want to stay

You leave the last piece just for me

And fall asleep halfway through TV

You know when I need company

And when to let me

be

You never ask me not to shine Or make my wildest dreams

seem small You cheer the loudest when I win And catch me

when I

fall I

used to mistake all that confusion

For something deep and true

Now the safest place I’ve ever been Is sitting next to you

And if the years change everything

If we’re not who we are today

I hope we’re still laughing in the kitchen

With nothing much to say

IT’S THE QUIET KIND OF LOVE

That I never knew I wanted

And I wouldn’t trade a minute

For the noise I left behind

It’s your hand finding mine

When the world gets hard to face

And I don’t have to be anybody else

I can take up all my space Oh,

the quiet kind of love

Makes me want to stay

You know I take my coffee strong…

And you always get it right.
