Little Things
*Claire's POV*
As I walk out of the hospital on my way to the car, Addie's little eyes popped open. As I
placed her in her car seat and buckled her up. She kept questioning me about why
daddy wasn't coming home and what's wrong with him. I was trying to come up with
something that a four year old would understand. So I told her daddy was sick.
"But when I'm sick you make me chicken noodle soup and I take a nap and then is all
better"
"Addie daddy's not that type of sick"
"What do u mean?" she asked with a sad tone to her voice.
"Well there is something wrong with his tummy so the doctor has to run some test but
we can see him tomorrow, now go to bed sweetheart" I assure her.
"Promise we can see daddy?" she asked with an adorable expression on her face.
"Promise, now go to sleep Addie it's late and you have school tomorrow"
"Ok, you sing me a song then," she challenges.
"How about the radio Addie"
"No, I want you to sing"
"Ok, what song then?" I asked surprise how set she is that I sing that song.
"The one that Niall sang to me!" she said getting excited.
"Which one was that?" I asked her curiously.
"It was like something about tea and jeans"
"Oh you want me to sing 'little things' to you?" I asked her.
"Ya! That song!"
"Ok here we go.....
Your hand fits in mine
Like it's made just for me
But bear this in mind
It was meant to be
And I'm joining up the dots
With the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me
I know you've never loved
The crinkles by your eyes when you smile
You've never loved
Your stomach or your thighs
The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
But I'll love them endlessly
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if I do, it's you,
Oh it's you,
They add up to
I'm in love with you,
And all these little things
You can't go to bed,
Without a cup of tea,
And maybe that's the reason
That you talk, in your sleep
And all those conversations
Are the secrets that I keep
Though it makes no sense to me
I know you've never loved the sound of your voice on tape
You never want to know how much you weigh
You still have to squeeze into your jeans
But,
You're perfect to me
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if it's true,
It's you,
It's you,
They add up to
I'm in love with you,
And all these little things
You'll never love yourself
Half as much as I love you
You'll never treat yourself right, darlin'
But I want you to,
If I let you know, I'm here for you,
Maybe you'll love yourself,
Like I love you
Oh
And I've just let these little things
Slip, out of my mouth,
'Cause it's you, oh it's you,
It's you,
They add up to
And I'm in love with you,
And all these little things,
I won't let these little things
Slip, out of my mouth,
But if it's true,
It's you, it's you,
They add up to,
I'm in love with you,
And all your little things....goodnight princess I love you"
