It's the wind that carries
A lock of hair
It's a day that carries
A grin at the corner of the eyes
A passing greeting
That we will never see again
The running of a child
Who is crossing the road
A little bit of wood that burns
Some words of a chorus
The clock that we put back
When the fall arrives
The blooming rose
In the middle of the garden
Life is all these things
Made of little nothings
The departure of a friend
The seasons that come back
It's a voice in the night
That whispers "I love you"
It's the hand that we put
In another hand
Life is all these things
Made of small nothings
It's a heart
Finger-painted on the window
It's a broken dream
Another one that will be born
It's me telling you every year
Happy birthday
It's an oak tree in the front
Of grandpa's house
It's the taste of fine wine
Standing in the kitchen
The morning's light
The children who draw
It's the time that runs out
It's the love that goes away
It's the sound of rain
On the roof
The road we follow
The doubts we drag
It's a voice in the night
That whispers "I love you"
The smile we dare
The tears that we hold back
Life is all these things
Made of little nothings
It's a voice in the night
That whispers "I love you"
Life is something
Nonetheless!
