Big leaps and pauses, the wins and the losses Can pick you up and knock you down like that The highs and the lows, and the big things you go for Ain't a weight you want to shoulder through your door A smile and a wave, go a little out of your way Or holding a door a second more A spare dollar from a billfold It don't have to be so bold To make your own red letter day It's the little things Like that first sip of coffee Like the Sun rising on me Like the look she gives in the morn I could go downtown have a little drive around And cruise these streets to a simple song It's the little things for me Resting on your laurels ain't exactly what I mean Don't let what you achieve mean everything It's not as simple as I say it And it never hurts to pray it Don't sweat the big pay, the big show All the big things you want most It's the little things Like that first sip of coffee Like the Sun rising on me Like the look she gives in the morn I could go downtown have a little drive around And cruise these streets to a simple song Like a California red Or lazy days in bed Or the sweet things she whispers to me It's the little things Little things like that It's the little things for me Little things Little things like that
