It's nothing

It was a boring Winter evening
and rain was getting on my nerves.
Pass the chicken, I said
and the Chinese sticks just slipped from your hand.
You took a piece of meat
and put it in my mouth.

I laughed and squealed,
you faked your annoyment.
'Hey, what are you laughing at?
This is disgusting'
'No, it's sweet', I said.
'No, it's nothing'.

Like the time when we were shopping
in the grocery shop.
And walking down an aisle you stopped,
made me turn around.
'You're beautiful,' you said.
I was in jeans and a ragged jumper.
'You're beautiful, beautiful.'
And kissed me.

I blushed and cried,
you seemed upset.
'Hey, what's the matter now'
'That was just
the sweetest thing I've ever heard'
'It's nothing,' you said.

Nothing was anything back there.
Back there, a thousand tears ago,
the biggest sweetest moment
was nothing.

It's everything just when it's passed.
