"Left Over (2026)" lyrics - CECILE MCLORIN SALVANT

I wonder if he knows how much I care for him
And though I laugh and shake my head
His hands on mine are all I know of love
Of love
Of love

I wonder if he even knows my name
My name between those lips or on that tongue
Would make me lose the ground I'm on
What ground I am on
To see him smile

[Bridge:]
The way he smiles when she's near
To get what's left over
His surplus of love
And I know that it's strange
Sometimes I wish to hold her near
To press her cheek with gratitude
Saying thank you for his smile you brought
For I am incapable

I wonder if he knows how much I care for him
And though I laugh and shake my head
His hands on mine are all I know of love
Of love
Of love
