Classic Poem

VERSE

Great big houses with great big rooms
Were not fashioned for brides and grooms;
A little place is where we should be.
Great big troubles and great big cares
Come from houses with marble stairs;
A little place for you and me.

REFRAIN

Just a little room or two
Can more than do
A little man and wife.
That's if they're contented with
The little things in life.
Living on a larger scale
Would soon entail
A lot of care and strife.
We could be so happy with
The little things in life.
A little rain,
A little sun,
A little work,
A little fun,
A little time for loving
When the day is done.
And a little thing that cries
For lullabies
Could make a man and wife
Tell the world how much they love
The little things in life.
