small things
 inspired by a friend who stopped to say hello
by dougie

  small things that make my day
  that make my mood lift so high
  like a friend stopping to say gidday
  to smile I don't even need to try
  'cos storm clouds turn to blue sky
  and raindrops turn to sunbeams
  today becomes tomorrow's dreams
  
  small things that make my day
  that make my mood lift so high

  a peewee bird that's in my yard
   dines on whatever he can spy
  searches high and low so hard
  trusts me to come close nearby
   so I can see right in his eye
  I think he says "how are ye?"
   that soothes my world for me

  seeds springing from the ground
   neighbors who say hooray-hello
  shop people who smile around
  calls from people that I know
   ill spent dollars that return to grow
  other drivers who show courtesy
   these soothe my world for me

  small things that make my day
  that make my mood lift so high
  sometimes why I cannot say
  but not to know or even try
