 A                     E      E7
Little things like my gentle touch
       A                 D             E7
It's amazing, darling, that so little can achieve so much
 A             B          E      E7
Little things like your sleepy smile
       A                D
As a brand-new day is starting
        F#m      B7      E
it's a lovely Christmas morning
         F#m             B7          E
And why don't we stay in bed for a while?
       E                 A          D
Soon enough, they'll be waking up from their dreams
  F#m     Bm            A             E7
Children bursting with giggles and screams

Chorus:
A             E7
Oh, what joy Santa brings
  A          A7        D                  A
Thanks old friend for packing Christmas stockings
         E7           A
Full of nice little things

Little things like your naughty eyes
You'd consider bringing me a breakfast tray, but there's a price
Little things like that happy noise
As a brand new day is dawning on this lovely Christmas morning
It's our children playing with their new toys
Little moments of happiness and of bliss
Does it ever get better than this?

Chorus:
Oh, what joy Santa brings
Thanks, old friend, for packing
Christmas stockings full of nice little things
Thank you, dear old friend, for packing
Christmas stockings full of nice little things

         A                D       A     E   F#m  D
Little things  like the precious jewels on rings
D     A E  F#m   A        E7     D
Or a music box that will fit in socks
 D   A      E7   A
Tiny elves with wings
 A      D       A               F#m  D
Not as big as queens and their kings
D       A   E A    D         A E  F#m  D
If you sing along, it could be a song
  D       A  E7  A
that my grandma sings
