The Niceness of It All - Gilbert O'Sullivan

It’s the niceness of it all

Baby it’s the niceness of it all

Whether you are close to me or far

It doesn’t matter in the least

As long as I can be with you

Any time I need to

Like the baby that’s just starting to grow

It’s the niceness of it all that makes me love you more and more

And it’s the niceness of it all

Baby, it’s the niceness of it all

That makes me write to you and say how much I’ve missed you over the weeks

That makes me call you on the phone

Whenever there’s a chance to speak

And even if there’s only time to say hello

It’s the niceness of it all, that makes me love you more and more

I don’t know what’s come over me

I’ve hardly touched a drink

My mother thinks it’s marvelous

He’s off the road to sin

She thinks you’re just the tonic that I need

And who am I to argue after all isn’t that what I believe

It’s the niceness of it all

Baby it’s the niceness of it all

If I can’t be with you for a week then a day will

Have to do I won’t say that that’s enough

But then beggars can’t be choosers

And besides if nothing else at least I know

It’s the niceness of it all that makes me love you more and more

Every time I see a shadow I think what a blessing it must be

Not to have to talk with fingers

Not to have to look with nothing to see

You try living your life to the full confined to a chair

Try and hide your loneliness when none is there
