Timbuk 3 - The Little Things lyrics

Eyes to the heavens the city folk say "Holy cow, it's the Milky Way!" All the constellations and inbetween A billion tiny stars that we've never seen It's the little things That make life such a big deal Darlin' little Delaware, the very first state Unless they're lying on the license plate I don't know, I don't really care I just love the sound of your name: Delaware It's the little things That make life such a big deal Like the quest for adventure The lure of the game The childish desire for fortune and fame This petty obsession with power and success The trivial pursuit of happiness I want to experience every little thing I want to hear the dandelions sing One never knows what one may be missin' If you talk to the flowers but you never listen It's the little things That make life such a big deal Like drops of rain that can drive you insane Like a shooting star Like bacteria It's the little things Like a bird that sings It's the little things That make life such a big deal
