Lyrics
I've been writing little thank yous on the backs of bus tickets On the edges of the shopping list, on napkins at the café For the man who held the lift door, for the girl who found my glove For the baker who saves the heel of the loaf on a Monday I tuck them in my pockets, I post them on the breeze Little scraps of gladness for anyone who sees Thank you, thank you, thank you There are notes in every pocket Thank you, thank you, thank you Let the small kind things take flight Every smile that you gave me, every door that you opened I am writing it down and I'm singing it bright Thank you, thank you, thank you For the little things that light the day There's a note for the postman who whistles in the rain There's a note for my neighbour who waters my plants There's a note for the stranger who said my scarf was lovely On the morning when I needed it most I tuck them in my pockets, I post them on the breeze Little scraps of gladness for anyone who sees Thank you, thank you, thank you There are notes in every pocket Thank you, thank you, thank you Let the small kind things take flight Every smile that you gave me, every door that you opened I am writing it down and I'm singing it bright Thank you, thank you, thank you For the little things that light the day And if you find one folded in your coat Or tucked inside a book you didn't know you'd lent It's meant for you, it's yours, it's true You mattered more than you could ever guess Thank you, thank you, thank you There are notes in every pocket Thank you, thank you, thank you Let the small kind things take flight Every smile that you gave me, every door that you opened I am writing it down and I'm singing it bright Thank you, thank you, thank you For the little things that light the day Thank you In every pocket
