Little Things Mean A Lot

Joni James

-peak Billboard position # 35 in 1959-60

-Words and Music by Edith Lindeman and Carl Stutz



Blow me a kiss from across the room

Say I look nice when I'm not

Touch my hair as you pass my chair

Little things mean a lot



Give me your arm as we cross the street

Call me at six on the dot

A line a day when you're far away

Little things mean a lot



Don't have to buy me diamonds or pearls

Champagne, sables, and such

I never cared much for diamonds and pearls

'cause honestly, honey, they just cost money



Give me a hand when I've lost the way

Give me your shoulder to cry on

Whether the day is bright or gray

Give me your heart to rely on



Send me the warmth of a secret smile

To show me you haven't forgot

For now and forever, that's always and ever

Honey, little things mean a lot
