about

Sometimes it's good to step back and realize you're happy with what you have. This is my song to my sweet wife, Lynn. Because when it all boils down to it, if all is left is me and her... in just a little house, with a little yard... well that will be all we need.

This song was recorded and edited with just my iPad so the quality might not be exactly what I've uploaded in the past... but it captured the mood perfectly and I've learned to not mess with simple is best. I hope it means something to you and my wish for you is that you might find the same kind of happiness in all you do.

lyrics

This little house, with this little yard
It means everything
This little place, the place where we are
It means everything
We don't dream big, me and you...
This little house and us... will do

This little drive and those little trees
They mean everything
It takes us back home where we both belong
That means everything
We don't need much... me and you..
This little house, this little drive... will do.

Chorus:
Some folks have more than they need
They're never happy so it seems
We don't dream big me and you
No... this little house, this little drive and
This great big love will do.

Break

Bridge
Some folks we live way above their means
They need everything that they see

This little house, with this little yard
It means everything
This little place, the place where we are
That means everything

But we don't dream big, me and you....
This little house... this little yard... and this great big love... will do.
