"Little Things" Lyrics

Some people chase the big house on a hill
They get a big job so they can pay big bills
The big deal is just around the bend
So they're holdin' out until their ship comes in

But that's not me at all
I'd rather have a big heart that keeps thinkin' small

Oh the little things matter most to me
It's the little things makin' life so sweet
When I kiss my kids on the cheek good-night
When you hold me close 'til the mornin' light
I thank God for the little things
Yes I do

Some people want the big fortune and fame
With a big stage where they can make a name
The big break is what it's all about
And they never see how much they're missin' out

But that's not me at all
I'd rather have a big heart that keeps thinkin' small

Oh the little things matter most to me
It's the little things makin' life so sweet
Like a bright sun shinin' on the first day of spring
Like an evening sittin' on a front porch swing
I thank God for the little things

Since less is more then I wanna be blessed
With a simple way of livin' and some happiness
'Cause I don't mind leavin' the rest of it behind

Oh the little things matter most to me
It's the little things makin' life so sweet
Like a Saturday morning for sleepin' in
Like the helping hand of a true blue friend
Like a warm fire waitin' at a long day's end
I thank God for the little things

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sweet, sweet little things
