Lyrics
Little By Little
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Give it up, give it up, live it up, give it up
Give it away, give it away
Live it up, give it up, give it away
Today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Perhaps we're on our way, perhaps we've gone too far
Perhaps we should slow down
And be where we really are
Really are, yeah
Today, today, yeah
If you believe that there is no other way
Try living today, today
Little by little, in your own way
Perhaps we're on our way, perhaps we've gone too far
Perhaps we should slow down
And be where we really are
Where we really are
Where we really are
We're in today, today
If you believe that there is no other way
Try living today, today
Little by little, you're on your own way
Perhaps we're on our way
Perhaps we've gone too far
Perhaps we should slow down
And be where we really are
Where we really are
Where we really are
Today, today
Try living today, today
Today
Little by little
Try living today, today
Little by little, be where we really are
Little by little
Today, today
Be where we really are
