Lyrics

The Little Things

We have to keep alive the little child in us all
The one that skipped rope and spent the summer playing ball
The one that would swing and see how high they could go
Or rushed outside after an April shower looking for the rainbow

Now there?s your pot of gold

It's the little things we need to hold on to
Pillow fights and staying up late nights
The things that children do
Remember the first time you rode your bike
The freedom that you felt
Hell on wheels, what a big deal, it was you and no one else
The first time you heard the Beatles sing
Ya, that?s what I?m talking about,
All the little things

Now Mom and Dad's both have to work to make ends meet
Its car pools and late night meetings at dinner there's an empty seat
It?s so fast paced a foot race, who'll be standing at the end
That?s the time we need to slow it down and go back every now and then

Like a circle, don?t ever let it end

It's the little things that keep our hearts alive
You learned to skate on your first date
And you even got to drive
Do you remember the first time
You felt all grown up
For me it was Brianna
Just talking in the front seat of my truck
Or the first time you gave someone your ring
Ya that?s what I'm talking about
All the little things

Ya all the little things that will be there in the end
Building blocks we once dropped
We learned to stack them up again
You can see defining moments
They follow a straight line
They lead you back to a familiar place in time
Ya they make us who we are
Like every piece of a fine built car
It?s all the little things
Hold on to the little things
