Little things

I was standing in the kitchen
Doing the dishes we left from the night before
Then she walked in with a gap toothed grin
Roaring like a dinosaur
I've spent my whole life with one foot out of the door
And it finally took putting down what I was working on
To see what I was working for

'Cause it's the little things that get me through to tomorrow
Oh, it's the little things that keep my in the fight
It's coffee in the morning
It's singing her to sleep each night
Yeah, it's the little things that let me know that everything's gonna be alright

I was patiently waiting, anticipating to get back out on the road
Just trying to be smart and play my part
Shoulder my share of the load
I used to be a singer with a family back home
And now I'm just a father and a husband
Who knows his way around a microphone

'Cause it's the little things that get me through to tomorrow
Oh, it's the little things that keep my in the fight
It's coffee in the morning
It's singing her to sleep each night
It's the little things that let me know that everything's gonna be alright

Last year nearly broke us
Time slipped by like a ghost
But it allowed me to focus on the things that matter most

'Cause it's the little things that get me through to tomorrow
Oh, it's the little things that keep my in the fight
It's coffee in the morning
It's singing her to sleep each night
It's the little things that let me know that everything's gonna be alright
