[Verse 1]
We laughed in the kitchen light
Me and you, hand in hand
Years fell like summer rain
Soft on the floorboards, soft as sand
Your shirt on the back of a chair
Your name in the evening air
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept every little thing
The cracked-up mug, the silver ring
Every Sunday, every smile
Every mile, every mile
[Chorus]
Now your love is gone
But it still lives on
In little hands, in little hands
You left me more than words
You left me our whole world
In little hands, in little hands
(our little hands)
[Verse 2]
First steps on the hallway rug
Tiny feet and sleepy eyes
You were gone before the spring
Still you left the sweetest prize
I brush your hair in my mind
And I hear you laugh sometimes
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep breathing through the ache
For the child your love did make
Every night, I say your name
And the room feels warm again
[Chorus]
Now your love is gone
But it still lives on
In little hands, in little hands
You left me more than words
You left me our whole world
In little hands, in little hands
(our little hands)
[Bridge]
If I could turn the years
I’d hold you through the tears
But you are here, you are here
In a heartbeat, in a song
In the child that carries on
You are here, you are here
[Chorus]
Now your love is gone
But it still lives on
In little hands, in little hands
You left me more than words
You left me our whole world
In little hands, in little hands
(our little hands)
[Outro]
So I kiss those little hands
And I understand
Love can break, love can stay
Even when you’re far away
