[Verse 1]
Shy and short of all of these
Just good old-fashioned qualities
Like kindness and like courtesy
Like "after you" and "pardon me"
When it's too close to call, you see
It's never been my policy
My game plan or my cup of tea
So just don't leave it up to me

[Chorus]
In honor of
Or just because
A little love is all there was
In honor of
Or just because
A little love is all there was

[Verse 2]
Lost in the obscurity
Appreciate the purity
The grace, the brilliance, and beauty
Remember this is new to me
It's new, I guess, to you as well
Guess what, good man? I couldn't tell
Notice the hypocrisy?
Ignore it when you talk to me
[Chorus]
In honor of
Or just because
A little love is all there was
In honor of
Or just because
A little love is all there was

[Bridge]
All is well, I guess, if this is how it ends
A somber testament that mostly just depends
On how you're looking at the message that it sends
I'm better off because of him, but we were never friends

[Bridge]
And all is well, I guess, if this is how it ends
A somber testament that mostly just depends
On how you're looking at the message that it sends
I'm better off because of him, but we were never friends

[Chorus]
In honor of
Or just because
A little love is all there was
In honor of
Or just because
A little love is all there was
In honor of
Or just because
A little love is all there was
In honor of
Or just because
(A little love is all there was)
[Outro]
Because a little love is all there was
