It really is the little things
That mean the most of all...
The "let me help you with that" things That may seem very small,
The "I'll be glad to do it" things That make your cares much lighter,
The "laugh with me, it's funny" things That make your outlook brighter...
The "never mind the trouble" things, The "yes, I understand,"
The interest and encouragement In everything you've planned
... It really is the little things,
The friendly word or smile,
That add such happiness to life And make it more worth while.
