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 Just a little 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 would soon entail a lot of care and strife We could be so happy with the little things in life 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 --- The Little Things in Life - Irving Berlin
