The Little Things

[Verse 1]

Times like these shake up the world

When you can't find the pearls

You once held in your hand

How can all these things keep changing so fast?

You can't count on anything to last

I just don't understand

How it can keep evolving

[Chorus]

Then a trace of your smile in a photograph

When I'm down and we talk and you make me laugh

That reminds me it's the little things in life

Ooh, that matter

[Verse 2]

Through the window I can see

Sky's stretched to eternity

It's so easy to feel so lost

All around there are people full of fear

Each side thinks they've seen it clear

But the noise comes at a cost

And you're lost in a bad dream

[Chorus]

Then a trace of your smile in a photograph

When I'm down and we talk and you make me laugh

That reminds me it's the little things in life

Ooh, that matter

[Bridge]

If you were standing here you'd take me in your arms and hold me

But nobody can hold me closer

What I've been looking for all my life is right in front of me

[Verse 3]

It's how the sun bounces off a blade of grass

It's the memories that are in your past

Matchbox car with the wheel gone

Old cassette tape with your favorite song

[Chorus]

Then a trace of your smile in a photograph

When I'm down and we talk and you make me laugh

That reminds me it's the little things in life

(Matchbox car with the wheel gone)

Ooh, that matter (Old cassette tape with your favorite song)

Then a trace of your smile in a photograph

When I'm down and we talk and you make me laugh

That reminds me it's the little things in life

That reminds me it's the little things (Ooh, that matter, I'm gonna try)

That it's the little things (Ooh, that matter)

That reminds me it's the little things (Ooh, that matter)

[Outro]

Now I know everything that I'm looking for

It's the sound of your key turning in the door

Now I know that it's the little things in life

Ooh, that matter

Yes, I know that it's the little things

In life
