Lyrics
Well, I’ll never forget the first time that I heardThat pretty mouth say that dirty wordAnd I can’t even remember nowWhat she backed my truck intoBut she covered her mouth and her face got redAnd she just looked so darn cuteThat I couldn’t even act like I was madYeah, I live for little moments like that
Well, that’s Like just last year on my birthdayShe lost all track a time and burnt the cakeAnd every smoke detector in the house was goin’ offAnd she was just about to cry until I took her in my armsAnd I tried not to let her see me laughYeah, I live for little moments like that
I know she’s not perfectBut she tries so hard for meAnd I thank God that she isn’t‘Cause how boring would that beIt’s the little imperfectionsIt’s a sudden change in plansWhen she misreads the directionsAnd we’re lost but holding handsYeah, I live for little moments like that
When she’s layin’ on my shoulderOn the sofa in the darkAnd about the time she falls asleepSo does my right armAnd I want so bad to move it‘Cause it’s tinglin’ and it’s numbBut she looks so much like an angelThat I don’t wanna wake her upYeah, I live for little momentsWhen she steals my heart again and doesn’t even know itYeah, I live for little moments like that
