Life Is Made of This

(Liz Anderson)



At first when I was young and small

I've thought that life was made of all

The little things. the day by day things

Peanut butter, children's play things.

Daddy's strenght and mommy's kiss

I've thought life was made of this

But then I was only just a child.



Then as I grew exotic places

Beckon me and strangers' faces

Said to me think big and prosper

Win a Grammy or an Oscar

Make it big and be someone

So that's what I've gone and done.



But it all seem empty after awhile

For all the world is cold and lonely

Fame and fortune made me only

Realize life's greatest charms

Are those you can't hold in your arms.



And now that I've been through it all

I know that life is made of all

The little things, the day by day things

Peanut butter, children's playthings

Honey's arms and baby's kiss

Simple things bring happiness.



Now I know that life is made of this...
