[Verse 1]

Sitting underneath the stars holding on to your hand

Wishing on a miracle and waiting on the sand

Falling leaves and fallen dreams, they get back up again

When you stare into my eyes and I never want it to end


[Chorus]

The sounds of the jungles and the blue of the sky

The earth underneath my feet and a family to call mine

Yeah, it's the little things that always get me by

Yeah, it's the little things that always make, always make me smile


[Verse 2]

First words and first heards, walking on the shore

Having friends stick by you when your back's against the wall

Memories and golden years, wrongs that I've made right

Dancing with the one you love on New Year's Eve at the stroke of midnight


[Chorus]

The sounds of the jungles and the blue of the sky

The earth underneath my feet and a family to call mine

Yeah, it's the little things that always get me by

Yeah, it's the little things that always make, always make me smile


[Outro]

Yeah, it's the little things

Yeah, it's the little things

Yeah, it's the little things

That always make me smile
