Things That Matter Songtext
A little girl puts on her skates, sits down on the porch and waits
And hopes her daddy won't be long
One more call, one more meetin', afternoon turns into evenin'
Still he ain't made it home
[Refrain]
Things that matter
And things that don't
Another place someone slams a door, says "I don't love you anymore"
Looks like another sleepless night
And hopes her daddy won't be long
One more call, one more meetin', afternoon turns into evenin'
Still he ain't made it home
[Refrain]
Things that matter
And things that don't
Another place someone slams a door, says "I don't love you anymore"
Looks like another sleepless night
Tossin' turnin' on the couch, he wonders if they'll work it out
It's all about bein' happy or bein' right
Things that matter
And things that don't
We only get so many trips around the sun
Some things matter some things don't
It's up to you to choose which ones
Wе only get so many trips around the sun
Some things mattеr some things don't
It's up to you to choose which ones
So tonight as I close my eyes
I pray "Lord help me realise"
Something I already know
There's things that matter
And things that don't
A little girl puts on her skates, sits down on the porch and waits
And hopes her daddy won't be long
It's all about bein' happy or bein' right
Things that matter
And things that don't
We only get so many trips around the sun
Some things matter some things don't
It's up to you to choose which ones
Wе only get so many trips around the sun
Some things mattеr some things don't
It's up to you to choose which ones
So tonight as I close my eyes
I pray "Lord help me realise"
Something I already know
There's things that matter
And things that don't
A little girl puts on her skates, sits down on the porch and waits
And hopes her daddy won't be long
