lyrics

LITTLE BITS OF BEAUTY

(1)
I see little bits of beauty everywhere I chance to rest my eyes.
All the wonders that surround me never cease to delight and surprise me.
I don't need flashy thrills or big things to impress or entertain me all the time.
When I notice and appreciate the beauty all around me, I do fine.

REFRAIN: Notice and appreciate little bits of beauty,
Notice and appreciate...ooh-ooh.

(2)
I used to take so many things for granted when I looked but did not see.
Now boredom is a stranger; I observe my surroundings carefully.
I see sparkles in the sidewalk, many colors in the bark on a tree---
So many fascinating details and patterns and textures to see.

REFRAIN

(3)
There're so many joys and pleasures that don't jump out to razzle-dazzle me.
I've found that beauty of all kinds is waiting quietly for my discovery.
Keeping all my senses live I now enjoy what I used to just ignore.
I love to hear the chirp of crickets, smell the rain, taste a berry, touch a leaf
---and so much more.

REFRAIN

(4)
When I look into your eyes I see the beauty of the spirit that's in you;
and I notice and appreciate your little acts of kindness, too.
Yes, there's beauty in all people that has nothing to do with what meets the eye;
Now I look for it and celebrate the qualities each one has inside.

REFRAIN

(FINAL VERSE; REPEAT VERSE 1, AND VARY LAST LINE)
I see little bits of beauty everywhere I chance to rest my eyes.
All the wonders that surround me never cease to delight and surprise me.
I don't need flashy thrills or big things to impress or entertain me all the time.
When I notice and appreciate
notice and appreciate
notice and appreciate the beauty all around me, I do fine.

REFRAIN (tune of last "ooh-ooh" varies, as on tape)
