The Little Things

©2015 Robert Randall Burke


An old guitar
And a beat up car
Just a couple dreamers
Wishin' on a star
We were young and blind
But the world was kind
I never thought
We'd ever get this far.


It's the little things
The little things
That can make a pauper
Feel just like a king
It's the little things
The little things
That make the biggest difference in the world.


Smoky cabarets
California days
Singin' for our supper
In the small cafes
We were young and free
You completed me
And saved me from my
Restless outlaw ways.

Sweet song, Bob. Really liked the 'cabarets...days...cafes.'

Happy New Year!

HI Bob ...

Happy anniversary to you and Penelope!!!

This reminds me of something Ed Bruce would have done in the late 80's. His voice is deeper than yours, but you have a lot of similarities otherwise.

Pretty song! Simple but enough of everything without a lot of stuff to distract from the great vocal and the message. We loved it!

Alan & Di

Bob, I like the melody on this one. Nicely done. Happy Anniversary. Tom

A terrific write, Robert...

You are a master at painting perfect pictures in so few words. This fits our story as well as it does yours (though ours took place on the East Coast - Florida to Philly)...

Happy Anniversary!

How about letting Penelope play bass on one of these?.... (does she sing???)

I like it!

fj

Very nice tune. Excellent lyrics. Well done

Bob
A nice heartfelt tune - and a pretty melody with a catchy chorus.

Nice lyrics Bob! You did a good job in writing this one. I enjoyed the tune and your vocals. Yeah, just the little things made the difference in this song.
Sonny

Sweet song Bob!! Lots of nice images, lots of warmth. Vocal is sweet, and mix is very good. You've been on a roll my friend!! Take care. Greg

Nice song. Good story there.

It's a great day when all the little things come together -


Both in song and in life.


No little thing here, just another top notch song.

Happy Anniversary.

Scott,

Thanks for listening.


Al & Di,

Thanks. Ed Bruce was great.

Thank you. Our real Anniversary is the 25th, but I have another song for that day!

Happy New Year to all.


Regards,

Hi Bob.

Another country classic!

Great choice of instruments and I always like the way you get so much emotion into the vocals.

Perfect arrangement and mix.

ROG.

Bob, beautiful throughout!

Joanne and I just observed number 55 on December 31st. I was on Xmas leave from Basic Training in Fort Ord, California.

Don

Hey Professor. Thanks for the listen and the kind words.

Regards,

Bob

Don -

Thanks for the listen. Happy Anniversary to you too!

Bob

Totally delightful and beautifully done.
Very much enjoyed this. Cheers.

Rich,

Thanks for listening and the nice comment.


Regards,

Bob

Mighty fine tune with a wonderful message. Nice arrangement -- just right. I enjoyed my early morning listen. Sounds like a pro recording to me.

"It's the little things
The little things
That can make a pauper
Feel just like a king
It's the little things
The little things
That make the biggest difference in the world."

Amen....something the two of us have
lived for 35 years.

This is a wonderfully arranged, produced and sung
tribute that we both enjoyed...a lot.

Regards,

Bob
