  • She is the sweetest thing that I know
    You should see the way she holds me when the lights go low
    Shakes my soul like a pot hole, every time
    Took my heart upon a one way trip
    Guess she went wandering off with it
    And unlike most women I know
    This one will bring it back whole
    Daisies, daisies perched upon your forehead
    Oh, my baby, lately I know

    That every night I'll kiss you, you'll say in my ear
    "Oh, we're in love aren't we?"
    Hands in your hair, fingers and thumbs, baby
    I feel safe when you're holding me near
    Love the way that you conquer your fear
    You know hearts don't break around here
    Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    She is the river flow in Orwell
    And tin wind chimes used for doorbells
    Fields and trees and her smell fill my lungs
    Spent my summertime beside her
    And the rest of the year the same
    She is the flint that sparks the lighter
    And the fuel that will hold the flame
    Oh, roses, roses laid upon your bed spread
    Oh, my, all this, all this I know

    That every night I'll kiss you, you'll say in my ear
    "Oh, we're in love aren't we?"
    Hands in your hair, fingers and thumbs baby
    I feel safe when you're holding me near
    Love the way that you conquer your fear
    You know hearts don't break around here
    Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

    Well, I found love hidden inside
    The arms of a woman I know
    She is the lighthouse in the night that will safely guide me home
    And I'm not scared of passing over
    Or the thought of growing old
    'Cause from now until I go

    Every night, I'll kiss you, you'll say in my ear
    "Oh, we're in love aren't we?"
    Hands in your hair, fingers and thumbs, baby
    I feel safe when you're holding me near
    Love the way that you conquer your fear
    You know hearts don't break around here
    Oh, yeah, yeah

    Every night, I'll kiss you, you'll say in my ear
    Oh, we're in love aren't we?
    Hands in your hair, fingers and thumbs baby
    I feel safe when you're holding me near
    Love the way that you conquer your fear
    You know hearts don't break around here
    Yeah, yeah, yeah
    You know hearts don't break around here
    Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Writer/s: Edward Christopher Sheeran, John McDaid
