Lyrics

Small Talk

It's not the chapters he reads

When you're feeling low down

It's not the touch of his skin

When you kiss him goodnight

It's not the money he spends

When you want to buy a daydream

And not that miracle smile

That makes the sky bright

It's not the way his hands behave

When you've turned out the light

It's the small small small talk

That makes it all happen

Small small small talk

That makes you want to fly

Yes it does

It's not the way he believes in you

Like a religion

It's not the thrill that you get

When his holding you tight

It's not the way his eyes persuade

You to stay the night

It's the small small small talk

That makes it all happen (just like that)

Small small small talk

That makes you feel like flying

Yes it does

Information, heart and soul

A whisper, a word

Confessions that have to be heard

Small small small talk

Small small small talk

Come on now

Come on now

Come on now

- you make it rock so heavenly

Come on now

Come on now

Come on

- you seem to talk so heavenly

It's not the way his eyes persuade

You to stay the night

It's the small small small talk

That makes it all happen

Small small small talk

That makes you feel like flying

Yes it does

Information, heart and soul

A whisper, a word

Confessions that have to be heard

Small small small talk
