Story Behind The Song
The songwriter says: "I usually write dark songs. High body counts, broken dreams and broken hearts. But I didn't want my audience to always leave depressed or sad. So here is a lighter look at life."

Lyrics
Little Things Words & Music by Dave Kearney
I like the mountains at sunrise, sunsets by the sea... Places where my first name is all they ask of me. The sound of children's laughter drifting down the hall... the face of a good friend when no one cares to call. I like good country cookin' and old Gibson guitars... smart sexy women with dependable cars. Lying in the meadow, staring up at summer stars... and those moments of truth
when you find out who you are. chorus: It's the little things that make the difference... when you add it all up at the end of the day. It's a simple path to walk away from indifference... and make your life feel like a place you want to stay. I like jokes that are funny, songs that are sad... memories of my loved one and the time that we had... hate that don't continue, love that never ends... and the mystery of dreams up around the bend. I like sin forgiven, debts that are paid... days when I can make good on the promises I've made... wind on the water, the sound of a train... and the smell of the forest after the rain. chorus: (2x) It's the little things that make the difference... when you add it all up at the end of the day. It's a simple path to walk away from indifference... and make your life feel like a place you want to stay.
