Brick by Brick

Текст песни

[Verse 1] You came in Monday with a list of things to mend, A clock that ran in circles and a fence without an end. You took my gloomy little plans and straightened every line, Now even rainy Tuesdays seem to be doing fine. [Chorus] You build me up, brick by brick, Make a slow old heart learn a quicker trick. When the day goes wrong and the plans fall through, I find my feet when I’m standing by you. You build me up, strong and true, There’s a brighter little world in the things you do. [Verse 2] You patched the hole in Sunday’s coat, you fixed the garden gate, You made a feast from yesterday and served it on a plate. You turn a crooked picture straight, a hard word into kind, And leave a little extra hope wherever you’ve been by. [Chorus] You build me up, brick by brick, Make a slow old heart learn a quicker trick. When the day goes wrong and the plans fall through, I find my feet when I’m standing by you. You build me up, strong and true, There’s a brighter little world in the things you do. [Bridge] So bring your hammer, bring your grin, There’s room for one more bright idea to begin. If life’s a house with a leaky roof, We’ll laugh our way to a weatherproof roof! [Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus] You build me up, brick by brick, Make a slow old heart learn a quicker trick. When the day goes wrong and the plans fall through, I find my feet when I’m standing by you. You build me up, strong and true, There’s a brighter little world in the things you do. [Outro] Brick by brick, the whole day’s new— I’m standing tall because of you.
