Watching this sunset, yeah man, it hit me

I'm alive, but I ain't really been livin'

Maybe flying through this life so fast, I'm missing

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 the back porch

A slow kiss on a dance floor

A tiny diamond in your pocket

A baby that needs rocking back to sleep

If you're asking 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

What we want is always right there, hiding

In all the little things

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 rocking back to sleep

If you're asking me

Yeah, it's the little things

Take everything and drop it

For a baby that needs rocking back to sleep

I guess all I really want to say

Don't let the big get in the way

Of the little things, mmm

Oh, little things
