In A Little While
James Blunt · Other Songs - James Blunt
In a little while, I'll be there
In a little while, this hurt will hurt no more
I'll be home, love
When the night takes a deep breath
And the daylight has no end
If I crawl, if I come crawling home
Will you be there?
In a little while, I won't be blown by every breeze
Friday night running to Sunday on my knees
That girl, that girl
She's mine and I've know her since
Since she was a little girl with Spanish eyes
Oh, when I saw her in a pram they pushed her by
My, how you've grown
Well, it's been, it's been a little while
Slow down my bleeding heart
A man dreams one day to fly
A man takes a rocket ship into the sky
He lives on star that's dying in the night
And follows in the trail
The scatter of light
Turn it on
Turn it on
You turn me on
Slow down my bleeding heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my bleeding heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love
