Times like these shake up the world
When you can't find the pearls
You once held in your handHow can all these things keep changing so fast?
You can't count on anything to last
I just don't understand
how I can keep from falling?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
Oooo That matterThrough 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 see it clear
But the noise comes at a cost
And you're lost in a bad dreamThen 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
Oooo That matterIf you were standing here you'd take me in your arms
And hold me
Nobody can hold me closer
What I've been looking for all my life
Is right in front of meIt'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
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 matterMatchbox car with the wheel gone
Old cassette tape with your favorite songThen 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 matter
That reminds me it's the little things
I'm gonna try
That reminds me it's the little things
That matter
That reminds me it's the little things
That matterNow I know everything that I'm looking for
It's the sound of your key turning in the doorNow I know that it's the little things in life
Ooh that matter
Yes I know it's the little things in life
