She's so tiny, but she's such a huge presence: she fills the room, every inch of it, suffuses it with this sweet fragrant light all her own. It brings a sort of balance to his life, fills this great huge void he almost didn't even know was there until she stepped in.
When she does stand, his arms go around her and he picks her up, settles her on his hips. This, he decides, is the ending he likes best for the song today, and he'll show her exactly how it goes, lead her through every intricate twist and turn, make sure she knows the melody intimately.
