LOUDON WAINWRIGHT III
"The Little Things In Life"

Just a little a room or two can more than do
A little man and wife
That's if they're contented with
The little things in life

Living on a larger scale could soon entail
A lot of care and strife
We could be so happy with
The little things in life, dear

A little rain, a little sun
A little work, a little fun
A little time for loving
When the day is done

And a little thing that cries for lullabies
Could make a man and wife
Tell the world how much they love
The little things in life

Great big houses with great big rooms
Were not fashioned for brides and grooms
A little place is where we should be
Great big troubles and great big cares
Come from houses with marble stairs
A little place for you and for me

[Orchestra]

A little rain, a little sun
A little work, a little fun
A little time for loving
When the day is done

And a little thing that cries for lullabies
Could make a man and wife
Tell the world how much they love
The little things in life
