The Little Things

Apologies that came too late A thank you you forgot to say Opposing views we won't put down Ignoring all the common ground Life could be so much richer If we looked at the bigger picture But oh, it's the little things So many little things Always the little things make us drift apart An unexpected compliment A smile, sweet and innocent When someone says they understand A simple touch from loving hands Small details make life richer It's all part of the bigger picture And oh, it's the little things So many little things Always the little things connect us at the heart Oh how we let love get away When we think that there's a million words to say But there's beauty in the quiet and the still And in telling someone how we really feel Oh, it's the little things So many little things Always the little things make us drift apart But oh, it's the little things So many little things Always the little things connect us at the heart
