lyrics
THE LITTLE THINGS (Walsh)
How did I fall for the little things
The nothing’s at all just little things
How did they get so tall?
Dental floss in every cupboard
Dried up flowers in a pretty blue vase
Why is the world so small?
CHORUS
I’ve been loving you
For a long time now
And I stop to hear you sing
‘cause I love your little things
Breakfast for two on an autumn Sunday
Watch the girls play their pianos
How did they get so tall?
Take out your contacts and wear your funny glasses
I’ll leave my socks on the rug
Why is the world so small?
CHORUS
BRIDGE working every day driving in a car back and forth from the office
Is a life
Picture on my desk I can see your face anytime I want and I want to
Right now I
Want to be with you I miss you even after all of this time
CHORUS
How did I fall for the little things
The nothing’s at all just little things
How did they get so tall?
The nothing’s at all just little things
How did they get so tall?
Dental floss in every cupboard
Dried up flowers in a pretty blue vase
Why is the world so small?
CHORUS
I’ve been loving you
For a long time now
And I stop to hear you sing
‘cause I love your little things
Breakfast for two on an autumn Sunday
Watch the girls play their pianos
How did they get so tall?
Take out your contacts and wear your funny glasses
I’ll leave my socks on the rug
Why is the world so small?
CHORUS
BRIDGE working every day driving in a car back and forth from the office
Is a life
Picture on my desk I can see your face anytime I want and I want to
Right now I
Want to be with you I miss you even after all of this time
CHORUS
How did I fall for the little things
The nothing’s at all just little things
How did they get so tall?
