Its The Little ThingsRR

Coffee on the porch. A text from someone you love. A wagging tail. That's life. Original lyrics written by Doug Long ©2026 Start every morning, phone to your head Traffic got you stalled, wish you'd stayed in bed Catch yourself dreamin 'bout the cabin in the hills Her moonlit silhouette still givin' you chills. [Pre-Chorus] The big wins come and the big wins go But what stays with you when the spotlight's gone… [Chorus] It's the little things, yeah the little things Like a text that says you like hearing me sing Sunlight sparkles bouncing off the floor Dog tails wagging when I walk through the door It's the little things that carry me through When the whole damn world's acting bitter and blue It's the little things... [Verse 2] The scent in the air after cool spring rain Swiping through pics on your phone with a grin Finding a ten in an old pair of jeans Remember that kiss you got back in your teens Oh yeah... [Instrumental Break: guitar solo with warm pedal steel accents, reflective and emotional, building tension] [Bridge] We can speed through our lives, one day to the next Or slow down and notice, what colors life best [Chorus – variation] It's the little things, yeah the little things Like a handwritten note or remembrin' a dream Memories that stay with you all day long Like your baby's laughter or your favorite song Those game-day cheers on cold Friday nights Or lyin' on the grass under star-filled skies It's the little things, that carry us through Reminding what's real and defining what's true Yeah, it's the little things...like bein' with you (it's the little things) Ohhh it's the little things (yeah the little things) [Outro: guitar and pedal steel fading out gently, warm harmonious vocal ad-libs on "little things", peaceful resolution] It's the little things… some old and some new Yeah, the little things… that's what's real, that's what's true Yeah, it's the little things... that'll do
