Paroles de Things That Matter

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 meeting Afternoon turns into evening Still, he ain't made it home Things that matter And things that don't Another place someone slams the door Says, "I don't love you anymore" Looks like another sleepless night Tossing, turning on the couch He wonders if they'll work it out It's all about being happy or being 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 one We only get so many trips around the Sun Some things matter, some things don't It's up to you to choose which one So tonight as I close my eyes I pray Lord help me realize 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
