the little things

Ace Of Base

Watchin this sunset, yeah, man, it hit me
I m alive, but I ain t really been livin
Maybe flyin through this life so fast I m missin
The little things

Those moments when you swear you feel the clock stop
And the answer seems as simple as a raindrop
Cause you realize that we re here on this big rock
For the little things

Like an old Merle Haggard song
Mama on the phone
Midnight on a back porch
Slow kiss on a dance floor
Tiny diamond in your pocket
A baby that needs rockin back to sleep
If you re askin me
It s the little things

The secret to life, hey, we all wanna find it
But the more I look, the more that I m reminded
What we want is always right there, hiding
In all the little things

Like homemade ice cream in a bowl
A jacket when it s cold
Fifth gear on a fast car
New strings on a guitar
A tiny diamond in your pocket
A baby that needs rockin back to sleep
If you re askin me
Yeah, it s the little things

Take everythin and drop it
For a baby that needs rockin back to sleep
I guess all I really want to say
Don t let the big get in the way
Of the little things, mm
Oh, little things
