Every Little Thing You Do By Jeff Gilpin


8/19/2018




Verse 1


[Dm]Words sometimes e[Bb]vade me


[F]When I think of [C]you,


[Dm]Searching and [Bb]searching


To des[F]cribe the things you [C]do.


[Dm]Simple things all [C]through the day


I [Dm]see when you’re a[C]round,


And I [Bb]ponder all the [F]things I see,


And [C]try and write them [F]down.


.


Your [Bb]easy ele[F]gance,


Your [C]casual [F]care,


Your [Bb]ways of doing [F]everything


That [C]you are una[C7]ware


Can [Dm]capture my at[C]tention, and


Make [Dm]me forget the [C]time,


And [Bb]seems to e[F]vade my


Trying to [C]put it down in [F]rhyme.


.


Be[C]cause you are a poem,


A [Dm]living work of art.


[C]My eyes are always drawn to [Dm]you.


[C]Sometimes unexpected


[Dm]Giving me a start


In [C]every [Bb]little thing you [F]do.


.



Verse 2


I [Dm]see you when you’re [Bb]reading


Lost [F]in some writer’s [C]realm.


[Dm]Then sometimes I’ll [Bb]catch your eyes


A[F]bove your glass’ [C]rims,


And the [Dm]look that you [C]give me then


De[Dm]pending on your [C]mood


Can [Bb]swing from love to [F]anger, and


[C]Yet I still in[F]trude on your,


.


Your [Bb]easy ele[F]gance,


Your [C]casual [F]care,


Your [Bb]ways of doing [F]everything


That [C]you are una[C7]ware


Can [Dm]capture my at[C]tention, and


Make [Dm]me forget the [C]time,


And [Bb]seems to e[F]vade my


Trying to [C]put it down in [F]rhyme.


.


Be[C]cause you are a poem,


A [Dm]living work of art.


[C]My eyes are always drawn to [Dm]you.


[C]Sometimes unexpected


[Dm]Giving me a start


In [C]every [Bb]little thing you [F]do.

Jeff that is  an outstanding love song very cleverly put together.  I wish I could write one like that.
