The Little Things

I remember each day they were born
Didn't have a clue what was in store (but)
But to our sweet surprise we were under His wing
And these heavenly gifts became our everything
It’s the little things, yeah the little things

Yeah, these memories don't need re-telling
With popcorn and a home movie screen 
I can see with some thoughtful reflection
The changes they’ve made Lord in me
It’s the little things, yeah the little things

My little guy and I walkin’ to our favorite fishin’ hole
Him jabberin’ away with carryin’ his cane pole
She’s so cute with her kittys and pups (and) 
Her heart showin’ us the meaning of love
It’s the little things, oh the little things

Yeah, these memories don't need re-telling
With popcorn and a home movie screen 
I can see with some thoughtful reflection
The changes they’ve made Lord in me
It’s the little things, yeah the little things

She sings, oh she sings wherever she goes
Our happy heart is the star of the show
She makes friends with all she’s met
With her big doe eyes that you can’t forget
Man it’s the little things, yeah the little things

Yeah, these memories don't need re-telling
With popcorn and a home movie screen 
I can see with some thoughtful reflection
The changes they’ve made Lord in me
It’s the little things, yeah the little things

Didn't take long but he grew taller than me 
With a voice as deep as the sea (and)
His teen-age single word answers were sometimes hard to talk to
Till the day he said, “Dad I’ve already won if I grow up just like you”
It’s the little things, yeah the little things

Yeah, these memories don't need re-telling
With popcorn and a home movie screen 
I can see with some thoughtful reflection
The changes they’ve made Lord in me
It’s the little things, yeah the little things
Yeah the little things
Don't forget the little things…
