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
