Riding along on a big yellow school bus

Elmer's glue and a brand new lunch box

Writing my name for the very first time

With a pencil that was bigger than me

From jumping rope and skipping school

To doing things that grown-ups do

Life goes by like, that big old bus

If you miss it, it's history



Paper dolls and paper weights

Scraped up knees and hearts that break

Dreams to dream and plans to make

Love to give and love to take





Chorus

This is the stuff

The smallest moments

This is the stuff

I need to notice

This is the stuff life is made of





Walking along as my life unravels

Looking back at the road I've travelled

All the things that matter most

Have caught me by surprise

Misty eyes and silent prayers

Promises and secrets shared

Friends that keep you up all night

Laughing till you cry





Life's made up of little things

Ties that bind and apron strings

New beginnings, old routines

Love and heartache in between





Repeat Chorus
