(bill fries, chip davis)

How long has it been
Since you got up on the early side a mornin?
And saw the sun a-risin
Bright an shiny on the eastern side a day?
And long will it be
til you listen to the sound of evenin thunder?
And go runnin through the raindrops
And stop to smell the flowers on the way

How long has it been
Since you heard the leaves a-rustlin in november?
And felt the autumn wind
Blowin soft across a sky of silvry gray?
And how long will it be
til you walk along the riverside together?
And take the time to skip a stone
And stop to watch the ripples fade away

But were so busy tryin to make it
Workin mornin, noon and night
That we never see the sunlight
And anytime we started lookin
For the little things in life that make it livin

How long has it been
Since you held your woman in your arms and kissed her?
And told her that youd love her
til the day that heaven takes you both away?
And how long will it be
til you wake up late at night and turn to whisper,
Hon, I promise you tomorrow aint a-gonna be just another day.

But were so busy tryin to make it
Workin mornin, noon and night
That we never feel the lovelight
And anytime we started hearin
All them quiet words that come from up above

Were so busy tryin to fight it
Drivin hard to beat the stoplight
That we never see the starlight
And anytime we started lookin
For the little things in life that make it love

Yeah, the little things in life that make it livin
Are the little things in life that make it love
