When I hear a child’s laugh or watch a raindrop fall to Earth
It makes me smile but I couldn’t tell you why
Guess it’s just the simple things in life that we allow to pass by
Everyday I wake up and try to do my best
Because you never know
That just maybe today will be your last
It’s the simple things in life that make me smile

like the sound of my sister's contagious giggle
It’s the simple things in life that leave me breathless

like waking up and knowing that I'm loved
It’s the simple things in life that I treasure the most

like sitting around the dinner table and share a laugh or two

with parents as great you
It’s the simple things that make life so worthwhile

It's the simple things in life that make me proud to be your child
