Life is short and we all need reminders to keep things in
perspective. Plain and simple, this song is a call to keep life
plain and simple. - Gary

lyrics

Little Things
(Gary Mitchell)

Some people get aggravated.
Some things just get exaggerated, bad.
When it’s all in their minds.
Now, I’ve found that some situations,
If you let them, can get you agin’ fast
And old before your time
And you’ll never even notice you’re doing fine.

Now I know that sometimes life cheats you,
And I’ve found that sometimes you need to cry
To deal with what life brings.
But until those days come: don’t sweat the little things.

Sometimes you’ve gotta let things be.
Sometimes you’re only wasting your energy.
The bigger picture’s so much more than it seems,
So keep your head up and don’t sweat the little things.

See, some people, they’re always frazzled
‘Cause they worry like every little thing
Is the end of the world.

They can’t sleep, they think they’re getting nowhere
They’re frustrated ‘cause life just won’t go their way
And they don’t know where to turn.
When there’s really only one thing they need to learn:

Sometimes you’ve gotta let things be.
Sometimes you’ve got to close your eyes and believe.
Today is all we have and all that we need.

So just keep moving and don’t sweat the little things.
Keep your eyes face forward and don’t sweat the little
things.

Sometimes you’ve gotta let things be.
Stay on track, don’t look back, and just don’t sweat the little things.
It’s not up to you and me.
Keep your eyes on the prize and just don’t sweat the little things.
