C. W. Mccall - The Little Things in Life lyrics

(bill frieschip 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

"honI 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

Yeahthe little things in life that make it livin'

Are the little things in life that make it love
