Can’t wait for my birthday, all the gifts are mine
Rippin open presents two at a time
The goodies and gizmos and gadgets I get
I’ll stuff in my closet
And soon forget (I got)

TVs, and CDs and DVDs
Computers and cell phones, 10 pairs of capris
All that stuff’s not enough
There’s a whole lot more
It’s the little things I should be thankful for

(Chorus)
Like
Wind for my kite
A butterflie’s flight
A really neat bug
And a friendly hug
A pile of fall leaves
A dog without fleas
Bubbles to blow
And a double rainbow

You’ve got to stop and smell the roses
Just look around at all you’ve got
It’s the little things.

My school day’s over, but I’m not through
There’s cheerleading practice and soccer to do
I come home tired and hungry as a bear
Open up the fridge to see what mom’s left there
There’s chicken fingers, mac and cheese, apples and oranges and sugar cookies

Mom’s really busy
But took time you see
To do a little thing that meant a lot to me

Like

(Chorus)
Like
Wind for my kite
A butterflie’s flight
A really neat bug
And a friendly hug
A pile of fall leaves
A dog without fleas
Bubbles to blow
And a double rainbow

You’ve got to stop and smell the roses
Just look around at all you’ve got
It’s the little things.

It’s the little things.
