Eyes to the heavens the city folk say

"Holy cow, it's the Milky Way!"

All the constellations and inbetween

A billion tiny stars that we've never seen



It's the little things

That make life such a big deal



Darlin' little Delaware, the very first state

Unless they're lying on the license plate

I don't know, I don't really care

I just love the sound of your name: Delaware



It's the little things

That make life such a big deal

Like the quest for adventure

The lure of the game

The childish desire for fortune and fame

This petty obsession with power and success

The trivial pursuit of happiness



I want to experience every little thing

I want to hear the dandelions sing

One never knows what one may be missin'

If you talk to the flowers but you never listen



It's the little things

That make life such a big deal

Like drops of rain that can drive you insane

Like a shooting star

Like bacteria

It's the little things

Like a bird that sings

It's the little things

That make life such a big deal
