Small Things Songtext
von Declan J Donovan

I got this photograph, 22 years have passed
You with your hair tied back and me in your arms
We′re at your brother's house and I′m wearing hand-me-downs
You're in my father's shirt, the one that you loved

So much has changed
But your smile and your laugh stay the same
For the three kids you raised
By yourself on a minimum wage

You made a big life from the small things
When there wasn′t enough, you still give us the world
You made us feel like we were something
Never left us in the dark

I′ve always got you in my heart, in my mind
I've always had you from the start of my life


I know I think I′m growing up, but I still need you so much
I might have moved away but you're still my home
You let me make mistakes, mess up and call you late
That′s the way of saying you love me

So much has changed
But your smile and your laugh stay the same
For the three kids you raised
By yourself on a minimum wage

You made a big life from the small things
When there wasn't enough, you still give us the world
You made us feel like we were something
Never left us in the dark

I′ve always got you in my heart, in my mind
I've always had you from the start of my life

I don't know just how you stop this all from falling apart!
I don′t know how to thank you for the love in a photograph!

You made a big life from the small things
When there wasn′t enough, you still give us the world
You made us feel like we were something
Never left us in the dark


I've always got you in my heart, in my mind
I′ve always had you from the start of my life
