Lettin' Go of the Small Things

Verse 1 I'm not gettin' any younger And time has gone insane It doesn't feel that long ago I could remember your name Now it’s just not important enough To clutter up my mind There are better things for me to do With my precious time Verse 2 No one knows the hour When their race through life is run Could be today, tomorrow, next year When the heart decides it's done Life can drop a bombshell Any time day or night And all that you can hope for Is that you lived your life right CHORUS So I'm lettin' go of all the small things Like names and hurt and pain Things that don't mean much anymore I won't be needin' a gain I've spent too much time lookin' backwards Thinkin' life was chasin' me down Now I think I'll sit here in the sun And stop carryin' that shame around Verse 3 These days my gait is slower I notice more that way The little things that passed me by Now fill up my day I listen to the birds call And pay attention to the sounds I see so much just sittin' In the peaceful quiet I've found CHORUS So I'm lettin' go of all the small things Like names and hurt and pain Things that don't mean much anymore I won't be needin' a gain I've spent too much time lookin' backwards Thinkin' life was chasin' me down Now I think I'll sit here in the sun And stop carryin' that shame around So I'm lettin' go of all the small things Like names and hurt and pain Things that don't mean much anymore I won't be needin' a gain I've spent too much time lookin' backwards Thinkin' life was chasin' me down Now I think I'll sit here in the sun And stop carryin' that shame around Outro No one knows the hour When their race through life is run So I'll just sit here in the sunlight Till my heart decides it's done
