Lyrics
(Verse 1) The sun ain’t even cracked the sky
Just a sliver of gold in a sleepy eye
I’m leaning on the porch, steam off the brew
Just listening to the world starting brand new
It’s a quiet kind of magic, a simple kind of grace
Finding all I need in this weathered old place.
(Chorus)
Oh, it’s the little things, the ones we usually miss
Like a Sunday drive or a front porch kiss
Don’t let the big world spin you way too fast
Cause these small moments are the ones that last
No, don’t take a single breath for granted now
Just slow it down, honey, and take a bow
To the little things.
(Verse 2) There’s a wild rose climbing up the garden fence
And the smell of the rain, it just makes sense
I used to chase the stars, looking for a sign
But I found the light in your hand in mine
It’s the gravel in the driveway, the screen door slam
Reminding me exactly who I am.
(Chorus)
Oh, it’s the little things, the ones we usually miss
Like a Sunday drive or a front porch kiss
Don’t let the big world spin you way too fast
‘Cause these small moments are the ones that last
No, don’t take a single breath for granted now
Just slow it down, baby, and take a bow
To the little things.
(Verse 3) It’s the worn-out pages in a hand-me-down book
The way the kitchen smells when you start to cook
It’s a phone call home just to say "I'm okay"
The way the shadows dance at the end of the day
We spend our whole lives waiting for the rain to break
Instead of dancing in the puddles that the heavens make.
(Bridge)
We’re always looking down the road
Carrying such a heavy load
But the treasure’s in the dirt right beneath our boots
In the simple life and our deep-down roots.
(Guitar Solo)
(Final Chorus)
Yeah, it’s the little things, the ones we usually miss
Like a Sunday drive or a front porch kiss
Don’t let the big world spin you way too fast
‘Cause these small moments are the ones that last
No, don’t take a single breath for granted now
Just slow it down, honey, and take a bow
To the little things.
Yeah, we’re thankful for the little things.
