Little Things
Aaron Pritchett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I?d like to hear your voice one more time
If you do I can fall back to sleep
And drift off to dream with a smile
I?ll miss you while you?re gone
When you?re out I?ll get the laundry done
Some times all it takes
Is an unexpected ?I love you?
To wrap your arms around the one that you love
That?s what it?s all about
It?s the little things that count
So when you find that special one
To stand beside you for the rest of your life
Those little things come naturally
A love like this is one of a kind
Even when I?m not with you
I can feel your love in everything you do
Chorus X 2
