A Pitter and a Patter

There's been a pitter and a patter
Bit-by-bit more than a smattering of rain
Fallen soft but broke a drought
Dry so long it caused some doubt
We'd ever get the good times back again
Hot as hell it made you doubt
You'd ever smell sweet scent of rain again

As I listen to the pitter and the patter
I can't help but remind myself
It's little things that matter
Yeah little things that matter
And little things extended
Find big damage being mended
Better to amend than split and scatter

There's been a pitter and a patter
Bit-by-bit more than an outburst of mad rage
Spoken softly broke the ice
Smoothed things over at no price
Same two people, same book, different page
Soothed things down from that day on
Not split up, back together, centre stage

As I tune in to the pitter and the patter
I can't help but remind myself
It's little things that matter
Yeah little things that matter
And little things extended
Find big damage being mended
Better to amend than split and scatter

No, I can't help but remind myself how much those small things matter
Small beginnings reach big endings from a pitter and a patter
Easy does it, steady pace will always keep you right direction
Breaking droughts, saving break-ups, bad fates too sad to mention
Breaking droughts, saving break-ups, bad fates too sad to mention

There's been a pitter and a patter
Bit-by-bit more than a smattering of rain
Fallen soft but broke a drought
Dry so long it caused some doubt
We'd ever get the good times back again
Hot as hell it made you doubt
You'd ever smell sweet scent of rain again

As I listen to the pitter and the patter
I can't help but remind myself
It's little things that matter
The little things that matter
Yeah little things that matter
Takes a pitter and a patter
Forget the split and scatter
No-one wants the split and scatter
And appreciate
Let's all appreciate
A drip, drip, drip, drip pitter
And a drop, drop, drop, drop patter
Drip, drip, drip, drip pitter
Drop, drop, drop, drop patter
Yeah-a pitter and a patter
A pitter
And a patter
