The Little Things In Life — текст песни (C.W. Mccall)

(Bill Fries, Chip Davis)

How long has it been
Since 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 raindrops
And stop to smell the flowers on the way

How long has it been
Since you heard the leaves a-rustlin` in November?
And felt the autumn wind
Blowin` 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 stone
And stop to watch the ripples fade away

But we`re so busy tryin` to make it
Workin` mornin`, noon and night
That we never see the sunlight
And anytime we started lookin`
For the little things in life that make it livin`

How long has it been
Since 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 it
Workin` mornin`, noon and night
That we never feel the lovelight
And anytime we started hearin`
All them quiet words that come from up above

We`re so busy tryin` to fight it
Drivin` hard to beat the stoplight
That we never see the starlight
And anytime we started lookin`
For the little things in life that make it love

Yeah, the little things in life that make it livin`
Are the little things in life that make it love
