Lyric

[Verse 1]

M: Cup of tea on the table

F: Street outside is fast asleep

M: Old lamp humming in the corner

F: And your head drifts to my cheek

M: Paperback open between us

F: But we’re reading each other’s eyes

M: Your cat curls up by your ankle

F: My dog heaves a sleepy sigh

[Chorus]

Both: And it’s quiet

But it’s full

Every empty space feels beautiful

Every shadow softened by your laugh

We don’t say much

We don’t have to talk

Just a little cat

A tired dog

And this quiet happiness we have

[Verse 2]

F: You trace circles on your coffee mug

M: I count freckles on your hand

F: We talk small things

Tomorrows

M: Like we’ve got all night to plan

F: Cat tail flicks on the pillow

M: Dog’s paw twitches in a dream

F: Funny how a tiny living room

M: Can feel like some wider scene

[Chorus]

Both: And it’s quiet

But it’s full

Every empty space feels beautiful

Every shadow softened by your laugh

We don’t say much

We don’t have to talk

Just a little cat

A tired dog

And this quiet happiness we have

[Bridge]

M: I used to fear the silence

F: I used to chase the crowd

M: But here in this soft stillness

Both: My restless heart calms down (Mm)

[Chorus]

Both: And it’s quiet

But it’s full

Every empty space feels beautiful

Every shadow softened by your laugh

We don’t say much

We don’t have to talk

Just a little cat

A tired dog

And this quiet happiness we have

Both: In this quiet happiness we have
