Lyrics: Little Things Mean a Lot

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 and pearls

Champagne, sables and such

I never cared much for

diamonds and pearls

But honestly honey, they just cost money

Give me your 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

Now and forever , that always and ever

Little things mean a lot
