The Little Things In Life Lyrics - Irving Berlin

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
