(Neo-Soul • R&B • Warm • 70 BPM • Live Rhodes piano • Soft bass • Gentle pocket drums • Intimate male vocal)

Intro

(Soft chuckle)

People keep asking me...

"How do you know you're in love?"

Baby...

It ain't always roses...

Sometimes...

It's just remembering

You forgot.

Verse 1

I filled your tank before the warning light,

Knew you'd be running late tomorrow night.

Your favorite candy sitting by your seat,

Didn't say a word...

Just thought it'd make your week.

Started your truck before the morning froze,

Left the heater running while you grabbed your coat.

Coffee waiting exactly how you like,

That's the kind of love

That don't need a spotlight.

Pre-Chorus

Everybody looking for fireworks...

I'm over here...

Learning your ordinary.

Hook

'Cause I........ loooooove........ yooooooou........ girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrlllllllllllllllllllllll...

Love ain't always diamonds...

Sometimes it's remembering your fries.

'Cause I........ loooooove........ yooooooou........ girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrlllllllllllllllllllllll...

These little moments...

That's where forever hides.

These my emotions...

This how I feeeeeeeeeeeel...

Won't change my words...

'Cause I'mmaaaaaaaa ownnnnnnnnnn it...

Verse 2

Saturday packed from sunrise till dark,

Grabbed your favorite energy drink before we start.

Made your bubble bath after work got rough,

Quiet little things...

But somehow that's enough.

Back scratches while you're halfway asleep,

Counting every circle till your breathing gets deep.

Watched your favorite show though I knew I'd complain,

Seeing you smile...

Worth every frame.

Bridge

When I know I drank a little too much tonight...

I'll sleep down the hall.

Not because I want to...

Because I know

You deserve good sleep.

See...

Love ain't loud.

Love whispers.

Verse 3

I remember birthdays that ain't even mine,

Call your mama just to make her smile.

Carry the heavy bags before you ask,

Save the last bite...

'Cause I know it makes you laugh.

Charge your phone when you fall asleep,

Cover your feet when the blanket slips.

Pray for your peace before I pray for me,

Nobody sees...

But heaven sees.

Final Hook

'Cause I........ loooooove........ yooooooou........ girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrlllllllllllllllllllllll...

Love ain't what you post...

It's what you do...

When nobody's watching.

'Cause I........ loooooove........ yooooooou........ girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrlllllllllllllllllllllll...

Forty years later...

I'd still fill your tank...

Still scratch your back...

Still grab your candy...

Still learn your shows...

Still make your bath...

Still pray you're okay...

Still choose you...

Every ordinary day.

🎵 Optional Outro (spoken)

They say love is complicated...

I don't think it is.

It's remembering her favorite snack...

It's warming up her car...

It's letting her sleep...

It's knowing the little things before she asks.

Anybody can say...

"I love you."

The hard part...

Is making sure she never has to wonder.
