Times like these shake up the world When you can't find the pearls You once held in your hand How can all these things keep changing so fast? You can't count on anything to last I just don't understand How I can keep from falling? Then a trace of your smile in a photograph When I'm down and we talk and you make me laugh That reminds me it's the little things in life Oooo That matter Through the window I can see Sky's stretched to eternity It's so easy to feel so lost All around there are people full of fear Each side thinks they see it clear But the noise comes at a cost And you're lost in a bad dream Then a trace of your smile in a photograph When I'm down and we talk and you make me laugh That reminds me it's the little things in life Oooo That matter If you were standing here you'd take me in your arms And hold me Nobody can hold me closer What I've been looking for all my life Is right in front of me It's how the sun bounces off a blade of grass It's the memories that are in your past Matchbox car with the wheel gone Old cassette tape with your favorite song Then a trace of your smile in a photograph When I'm down and we talk and you make me laugh That reminds me it's the little things in life That matter Matchbox car with the wheel gone Old cassette tape with your favorite song Then a trace of your smile in a photograph When I'm down and we talk and you make me laugh That reminds me it's the little things in life That matter That reminds me it's the little things I'm gonna try That reminds me it's the little things That matter That reminds me it's the little things That matter Now I know everything that I'm looking for It's the sound of your key turning in the door Now I know that it's the little things in life Ooh that matter Yes I know it's the little things in life
