Lyrics

[Verse 1] The kettle sings a little tune at seven The cat is curled in sunlight on the chair A text from someone saying they were thinking Of nothing much, just letting me know they care [Pre-Chorus] When the big things feel too heavy I start counting what is small [Chorus] Little good things, little good things The smell of rain, the way the robin sings A stranger's smile, a door held wide A cup of tea, a window side When my heart forgets the way I gather up the little good things of the day [Verse 2] The neighbour's kid who waves from on the footpath The first warm bite of toast with honey on A song I'd half forgotten on the radio That makes me hum until the clouds are gone [Pre-Chorus] When the big things feel too heavy I start counting what is small [Chorus] Little good things, little good things The smell of rain, the way the robin sings A stranger's smile, a door held wide A cup of tea, a window side When my heart forgets the way I gather up the little good things of the day [Bridge] One by one they fill my pocket Bit by bit they light the room Tiny seeds of gentle sunshine Pushing up through grey and gloom [Final Chorus] Little good things, little good things The smell of rain, the way the robin sings A stranger's smile, a door held wide A cup of tea, a window side When my heart forgets the way I gather up the little good things of the day [Outro] Little good things Every single day
