The smell of coffee when I wake up
Bible study on Thursdays at the bagel shop
Shooting stars entertain the summer night

I love the way my dogs look when we snow fight

These are the little things...


Conversations all night long
When my sister finally masters her piano song

Laying on the grass, watching the clouds go
While my ducks stare at their reflections in the window


These are the little things that make me smile
These are the little things that only last for a while


These are beautiful, beautiful things
These things add so much to my life
Beautiful, beautiful things

Don't let your life pass by
Without soaking up the little things


Family football in the living room
Playing guitar on the kitchen broom
When the car wash turns into a water fight

Laying on the road, just staring at the moonlight

These are the little things...


The sound of brand new guitar strings
An old couple just sitting on the porch swing

A billion stars stretch across the sky
And Momma's kitchen jar is full of fireflies
*

'Cause time, it goes so fast
And these little things aren't here to last
The snow will soon melt away

And your dogs will get too old to play
So now's your time, enjoy the ride
Learn to laugh, learn to see the bright side

Every cloud has a silver lining
Somewhere, the sun is shining
