The Little Things In Life – C.W. McCall – letras

(Bill Fries, Chip Davis)How long has it beenSince you got up on the early side a’ mornin’?And saw the sun a-risin’Bright an’ shiny on the eastern side a’ day?And long will it be’Til you listen to the sound of evenin’ thunder?And go runnin’ through the raindropsAnd stop to smell the flowers on the wayHow long has it beenSince you heard the leaves a-rustlin’ in November?And felt the autumn windBlowin’ soft across a sky of sil’vry gray?And how long will it be’Til you walk along the riverside together?And take the time to skip a stoneAnd stop to watch the ripples fade awayBut we’re so busy tryin’ to make itWorkin’ mornin’, noon and nightThat we never see the sunlightAnd anytime we started lookin’For the little things in life that make it livin’How long has it beenSince you held your woman in your arms and kissed her?And told her that you’d love her’Til the day that heaven takes you both away?And how long will it be’Til you wake up late at night and turn to whisper, »Hon, I promise you tomorrow ain’t a-gonna be just another day. »But we’re so busy tryin’ to make itWorkin’ mornin’, noon and nightThat we never feel the lovelightAnd anytime we started hearin’All them quiet words that come from up aboveWe’re so busy tryin’ to fight itDrivin’ hard to beat the stoplightThat we never see the starlightAnd anytime we started lookin’For the little things in life that make it loveYeah, the little things in life that make it livin’Are the little things in life that make it love
