Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I am an architect of days that haven't happened yet

I can't believe a month is all it's been

You know my paper heart, the one I filled with pencil marks

I think I might have gone and inked you in

[Verse 2]

Little by little, inch by inch

We built a yard with a garden in the middle of it

And it ain't much but it's a start

You got me swayin' right along to the song in your heart

[Verse 3]

And a face to call home

A face to call home

You got a face to call home

[Verse 4]

So good you didn't see

The nervous wreck I used to be

You never know a man could feel so small

And you never look at me

Like I'm a liability

I bet you think I've never been at all

[Verse 5]

Little by little, inch by inch

We built a yard with a garden in the middle of it

And it ain't much but it's a start

You got me swayin' right along to the song in your heart

[Verse 6]

And a face to call home

A face to call home

You got a face to call home

A face to call home

A face to call home

You got a face to call home

[Verse 7]

Maybe I could stay a while

Maybe I could stay a while

Maybe I could stay a while

I'm talkin' 'bout all of the time

Maybe I could stay a while

[Verse 8]

Little by little, inch by inch

We built a yard with a garden in the middle of it

And it ain't much but it's a start

You got me swayin' right along to the song in your heart

[Verse 9]

And a face to call home

A face to call home

You got a face to call home

[Verse 10]
