Liner Notes

A valentine song for my wife is a FAWM tradition. I'm a lucky man: we take turns being big spoon.

Lyrics

Curl up like a cat and I’ll be your sunbeam
You be the sweet and I’ll be the dreams
Be my butterfly and I’ll be your cocoon
I’m the hot air, you’re my balloon

Beside you is all I want to do
Let me hold you, let me hold you
Little spoon

You fill my cup because you’re my cup of tea
Your hand is the glove my heart is the sleeve
You be the tides I’ll be the full moon
Life's our first dance, we're the bride and groom

Beside you is all I want to do
Let me hold you, let me hold you
Little spoon

my god, that first line made me stop in my tracks. what beautiful, brilliant poetry there, and throughout this entire song. "Life's our first dance, we're the bride and groom" is such a masterful distillation.

you have one very lucky wife, it sounds like. ☺️ i hope the benefits of being married to a songwriter far outweigh the costs. 😜

(my wife and i also take turns being big spoon and little spoon and it's one of my favorite things. why decide? they're both the best. 💙)

That first verse though! I love the detail in this and the chorus ‘let me hold you little spoon’ is inspired. Says so much with very little words.

The imagery in the first verse in particular is beautiful. Holding each other is definintely part of the fun of a relationship. Pretty and charming song.

Damn, Phil. Somebody gonna get lucky tonight. This is so fine. Reminds me a little of a truly wonderful singer songwriter called Robbie Hecht. Delicious lyrics, tune and performance. Applause.
