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
