from “The Little Things” (2013)

A pretty lady sat beside me

Drenched right to her skin as though she’d drowned

She came inside to warm up because it’s rainy

Before she goes back out to dance around

 

She said it’s the little things that make us who we are

Yes it’s the little things that make us… they make us who we are

 

She got a drink and took a huge breath

And smiled the biggest smile that I have seen

She said to come outside and join her dancing

But I said I’m nice and dry and my suit had just been cleaned

 

She said it’s the little things that make us who we are

Yes it’s the little things that make us who we are

Oh it’s the little things… that make us…

 

And she said:

Are you happy where you are

Sat here alone inside this bar

When outside the world is your oyster

But you… are too afraid

 

So this pretty lady came and saved me

She took me by the hand and led me out

The rain was cold at first but she said stay with me

And before too long we began to laugh and sing and dance about

 

Oh it is the little tings that make us who we are

Yes it’s the little things that make us who we are

Oh it’s the little things that make us who we are

Yes it’s the little things…. that make us who we are

When outside the world is your oyster

But you… are too afraid

 

So this little lady came and saved me

She took me by the hand and led me out

The rain was cold at first but she said stay with me

And before too long we began to laugh and sing and dance about

 

Oh it is the little tings that make us who we are

Yes it’s the little things that make us who we are

Oh it’s the little things that make us who we are

Yes it’s the little things…. that make us who we are
