I am an architect
 Of days that haven't happened yet
 I can't believe a month is all it's been
 You know my paper heart
 The one I fill with pencil marks
 I think I might have gone and inked you in
 
Little by little, inch by inch
 We built a yard
 With a garden in the middle of it
 It ain't much, but it's a start
 You got me swaying right along
 To the song in your heart
 And a face to call home
 A face to call home
 You got a face to call home
 
It's so good you didn't see
 The nervous wreck I used to be
 I never thought a man could feel so small
 You never look at me like I'm a liability
 I bet you'd think I've never been at all
 
Little by little, inch by inch
 We built a yard
 With a garden in the middle of it
 It ain't much, but it's a start
 You got me swaying right along
 To the song in your heart
 And a face to call home
 A face to call home
 You got a face to call home
 
A face to call home
 A face to call home
 You got a face to call home
 
Maybe I can stay awhile
 Maybe I can stay awhile
 Maybe I can stay awhile
 I'm talking like all of the time
 Maybe I can stay awhile
 Maybe I can stay awhile
 Maybe I can stay awhile
 I'm talking like all of the time
 
Little by little, inch by inch
 We built a yard
 With a garden in the middle of it
 It ain't much, but it's a start
 You got me swaying right along
 To the song in your heart
 And a face to call home
 A face to call home
 You got a face to call home
 
A face to call home
 A face to call home
 You got a face to call home
