The Little Things

Watchin' this sunset, yeah, man, it hit me I'm alive but I ain't really been livin' Maybe flyin' through this life so fast I'm missin' The little things Those moments when you swear you feel the clock stop And the answer seems as simple as a raindrop 'Cause you realize that we're here on this big rock For the little things Like an old Merle Haggard song Mama on the phone Midnight on a back porch Slow kiss on a dance floor A tiny diamond in your pocket A baby that needs rockin' back to sleep If you're askin' me It's the little things The secret to life, hey, we all wanna find it But the more I look, the more that I'm reminded That what we want is always right there, hiding In all the little things Like homemade ice cream in a bowl A jacket when it's cold Fifth gear on a fast car New strings on a guitar A tiny diamond in your pocket A baby that needs rockin' back to sleep If you're askin' me Yeah, it's the little things Take everything and drop it For a baby that needs rockin' back to sleep I guess all I really want to say Don't let the big get in the way Of the little things Oh, the little things
