Little by little by little by little by little
Little by little by little by little by little

You're messing up my life
Tearing me apart
Breaking up my world
And I'm giving up my heart
Little by little by little by little

I'm losing all my pride
It's really getting bad
Hurting deep inside
Is a-making me go mad, ooh
Little by little by little by little

Little by little
Bit by bit
I'm going crazy and you're causing it
Little by little
Bit by bit
I should stop caring
But my love won't quit

Little by little by little by little by little, yeah
Little by little by little by little by little, all right

I don't know where to turn
Don't know what to do
I'm walking on thin ice
And it seems I'm falling through, ooh
Little by little by little by little

Little by little
Bit by bit
I'm going crazy and you're causing it
Little by little
Bit by bit
I should stop caring
But my love won't quit

I'm the queen of fools
Know the deck is stacked
On a losing streak
But I'm a-going to get you back

Little by little by little by little
(Little by little by little by little by little)
Yeah, little by little
(Little by little by little by little by little)
Ah, ah, ah, little by little
(Little by little by little by little by little)
Little by little, mmm
(Little by little by little by little by)

I think I'm goin' back
To the things I learned so well in my youth,
I think I'm returning to
The days when I was young enough to know the truth

Now there are no games
To only pass the time
No more coloring books,
No Christmas bells to chime
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
And I can play the game of life to win

I can recall a time,
When I wasn't afraid to reach out to a friend
And now I think I've got
A lot more than a skipping rope to lift

Now there's more to do
Than watch my sailboat glide
Then everyday can be my magic carpet ride
And I can play hide and seek with my fears,
And live my life instead of counting my years

Let everyone debate the true reality,
I'd rather see the world the way it used to be
A little bit of freedom, all we're left
So catch me if you can
I'm goin' back

I can recall,
I can remember

I can recall,
I can remember

I can recall,
I can remember

It isn't the way that you look
And it isn't the way that you talk
It isn't the things that you say or do
Make me want you so

It is nothing to do with the wine
Or the music that's flooding my mind
But never before have I been so sure
You're the someone I dreamed I would find

It's the way you make me feel
The moment I am close to you
It's a feeling so unreal
Somehow I can't believe it's true
The pounding I feel in my heart
The hoping that we'll never part
I can't believe this is really happening to me

I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you're still here
I close my eyes and count again
I can't believe it but you're still here

We were strangers a moment ago
With a few dreams but nothing to show
The world was a place
With a frown on its face
And tomorrow was just, I don't know

But the way you make me feel
The moment I am close to you
Makes today seem so unreal
Somehow I can't believe it's true
Tomorrow will you still be here?
Tomorrow will come but I fear
That what is happening to me
Is only a dream

I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you're still here
I close my eyes and count again
I can't believe it but you're still here
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you're still here

I tried so hard
All summer through
Not to think too much of you
But the more I try
The more I find
I just can't leave the past behind

Times that are happy
Are times that are few
And once I was happy
When I had you

But days have come and gone
Since you were here
Nights are twice as long
Without you near
Pictures on my mind
Stand out so clear
No matter where I am
Or what I do
My darling
All I see is you

You're there in every dream
I ever dream
There at every place
I've ever been
Everyday I find
You're in my heart
And on my mind
I close my eyes
But I'm not blind
I see you still
And when I throw my arms out wide
I find that you're not by my side
But one thing is for sure
Until I do
All I see is you

Everyday I find
You're in my heart
And on my mind
I close my eyes
But I'm not blind
I see you still, oh

I won't live again
'Til I'm with you
Oh, darling
I won't love again
Unless it's with you

So until the day
When you are back with me to stay
In every way
All I see is you

You've been cryin'
Your face is a mess
Come in baby
You can dry the tears on my dress
She's hurt you again
I can tell
Oh, I know that look so well

Don't be shy
You've been here before
Pull your shoes off, lie down
And I will lock the door

And no-one has to know
You've come here again
Darling it will be
Like it's always been before
Come on over here

Breakfast in bed
And a kiss or three
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed
Nothing need be said
Ain't no need

What's your hurry?
Please don't eat and run
You can let her wait, my darling
It's been so long
Since I've had you here
You will come again
Darling it will be
Like it's always been before
Hey child

Breakfast in bed
And a kiss or three
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed
Nothing need be said

Breakfast in bed
And a kiss or three
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed
Nothing need be said, yeah
You don't have to

The look of love
Is in your eyes
A look your smile can't
disguise

The look of love
Is saying so much more than
Just words could every say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away

[Chorus]
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you

You've got the look of love
It's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Baby be mine, tonight

Let this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Let's take a lovers vow
And seal it with a kiss

[Chorus]

Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so
The look of love

Let this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow
And baby we'll seal it with a kiss

[Chorus]

Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind!

Like a tunnel that you follow to a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving in a half forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind!

Keys that jingle in your pocket, words that jangle in your head
When did summer go so quickly? Was it something that you said?
Lovers walking along a shore and leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway and the fragment of a song
Half remembered names and faces, but to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over you were suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning to the color of her hair!
Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel
As the images unwind, like the circles that you find in
The windmills of your mind!

Keys that jingle in your pocket, words that jangle in your head
When did summer go so quickly? Was it something that you said?
Lovers walking along a shore and leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway and the fragment of a song
Half remembered names and faces, but to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over in the autumn of good-byes
For a moment you could not recall the color of his eyes!
Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel
As the images unwind, like the circles that you find in
The windmills of your mind!
