How long has it been since you got up on the early side of mornin'?
An' saw the sun a risin' bright 'n shiney on the eastern side of day? An' how long will it be 'till you listen to the sound of evenin' thunder? An' go runnin' through the raindrops, an' stop to smell the flowers on the way? How long has it been since you heard the leaves a rustlin' in November? An' felt the Autumn wind blowin' soft across a sky of silver-grey? An how long will it be 'till you walk along the riverside together? An' take the time to skip a stone an' stop to watch the ripples fade away? But we're so busy tryin' to make it Workin' mornin', noon, an' night That we never see the sunlight Maybe time 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? An' told her that you'll love her 'till the day that heaven takes you both away An' how long will it be 'till you wake up late at night and turn to whisper "Hon I promise you tomorrow ain't a gonna be just another day?" But we're so busy tryin' to make it Workin' mornin', noon, an' night That we never feel the love light Maybe time 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 Maybe tie we started lookin' for the little things in life that make it livin' Yeah, the little things in life that make it livin' Are the little things in life that make it love |
