The Things That You Do

© 2016 Mark Cote

You
wash the stripes from my shirt
you
take the bars off my heart
how do you do
the things that you do?

chase
the storm clouds away
it's strawberry days
now the skies are blue with
the things that you do

(chorus) and yes it's true
                  the things that you do
                  nobody else
                  compares the wonder of you
                  and it's true
                  yes you
                  with the things
                  with the things
                  the things that you do

you
put the beat in the song
let it play
all night long
to the tempo of dew
and the things that you do

(chorus)
(instrumental)

(spoken bridge) well here we are
                                 dancing head over feet
                                 and I feel that it is like a mirage
                                 when the words taste sweeter
                                 than an ice cream cone
                                 and the dream is growing large

(chorus)
