Oh, you’re such a pretty thing
I’ll take you and I’ll make you
All mine
I would steal you
From this patient world
Let it chase us
It could never take you back

We could watch it from the clouds
We can’t stop it anyhow
It’s not ours

We could watch it from the clouds
We can’t stop it anyhow
It’s not ours
It’s not ours

I know you know me well enough
To know I’m lucky to have you

But oh it’s just the little things
The words that I should tell you
All the time
Like you’re so sweet to me
When you beat me
In double solitaire
You’re so sweet to me
In a world that’s not always fair

We could watch it from the clouds
We can’t stop it anyhow
It’s not ours

We could watch it from the clouds
We can’t stop it anyhow
It’s not ours

The more love that you feel
The more your little heart will ache
Love is the only thing that carries on
It’s the only thing this world can’t take
This love is ours
This love is ours

Oh you’re such a pretty thing
I’ll take you and I’ll make you
All mine

    General Comment:I think this song is about not being able to control the world (like the physical separation of death), but their love will be eternal.
    I always laugh at
    "Like you're so sweet to me
    When you beat me
    In double solitaire"
    I love how Jack always includes the little things in life.
