[Verse 1] I found your note beside the pillow Three crooked words I kept all day The porch boards held the morning quiet A sparrow hopped along the way I tied my boots, stepped out the door And let the honest weather tell me [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need a perfect answer I just need a woman that’s true [Chorus] I’ll carry what the good days gave me Leave the heavy world behind There’s a little more light in this world Every time you choose to stay If your heart is tired and restless Put your hand inside mine We can take the long way home together One small step at a time [Verse 2] We’ve had our share of doors half-open We’ve had our nights that wouldn’t bend But every crack along the ceiling Lets the love come in [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need a perfect answer I just need a woman that’s true [Chorus] I’ll carry what the good days gave me Leave the heavy There’s a little more light in the world Every time you choose to stay If your heart is tired and restless Put your hand inside mine We can take the long way home together baby One small step at a time [Final Chorus] I’ll carry what the good days gave me Leave the heavy world behind There’s a little more light in the world Every time you choose to stay If your heart is tired and restless Put your hand inside mine We can take the long way home together One small step at a time [Outro] One small step, the morning opens One small step, and we’re alive
