"LITTLE THINGS" Rice-paper boats sail into the dawn Delicate and strong as a robe's folds Skin of silk and glass, the morning's jam How come you care so much for that dog? Little things make up this life I'm so glad that you are here Little things make up this life And I’m so glad that you’re here When you’re on the road nights run into days Ragged and the same as poisons’ dregs Hands of bills, drinks, smoke, skirts promise highs Till I can’t remember where, when, what and why Little things make up this life And I’m so glad that you are here Little things make up this life And I’m so glad that you’re here (for Roger Lewis' melody, Don Paul, January 18, 2020.)

about

Visit www.ur1light.com/roger-lewis-alright for more about Roger Lewis' album ALRIGHT! and "Little Things".

"Little Things" comes from "a little melody" that Roger Lewis says he'd "carried around" for more than a decade. Its delicacy and tenderness struck me and lyrics arose from remarks from Roger about his wife,
composer and pianist Mari Watanabe.

"It's beautiful. It's beautiful," Kirk Joseph said after Roger played the melody on piano at the New Orleans Musicians Union rehearsal-space
on August 2,, 2021, the day before the Rivers Answer Moons band with Herlin Riley recorded at the Marigny Street studio with Rick Nelson as our engineer. Roger added overdubs on saxophones later that August.

"LITTLE THINGS"

Rice-paper boats sail into the dawn
Delicate and strong as a robe's folds
Skin of silk and glass, the morning's jam
How come you care so much for that dog?

Little things make up this life
I'm so glad that you are here
Little things make up this life
And I’m so glad that you’re here

When you’re on the road nights run into days
Ragged and the same as poisons’ dregs
Hands of bills, drinks, smoke, skirts promise highs
Till I can’t remember where, when, what and why

Little things make up this life
And I’m so glad that you are here
Little things make up this life
And I’m so glad that you’re here

(for Roger Lewis' melody,
Don Paul, January 18, 2020.)
