Looking back on the photo album of my life
It's the little things that make us smile
Like very first time that you discovered true love (uh)
It's a feeling you can't describe
But it always stays on your mind
Or the first time you hear a song on the radio
That gives you goose bumps all over from head to toe
Or the time you stayed up all night talking on the phone
And you looked up and realize she's staring at the same star as you

That's what gets me sentimental (sentimental)
That's what life's all about (yeah, yeah)
That's what gets me all emotional
Bothered with all the things I can do without

'Cause I figured out,
These are the moments that matter (matter)
And I figured out,
That these are the moments that mean the most to me
'Cause I know I got friends, trust, family, and love
All around me, that should be enough
And I figured out that
These are the moments that matter, matter to me

The one thing I cherish while I'm on the road is I know I'm never alone Just look around at the sunsets and waterfalls
And you know God's very close
'Cause you feel the Lord's love is very close
It's like that first time that I learned my history
'Cause my dad took the time, opened my eyes, and broke it all down for me
I still remember my mother asking me how my day went when I came home from school
And these are very sweet memories

That's what gets me sentimental (sentimental)
That's what life's all about (yeah, yeah)
That's what gets me all emotional
Bothered with all the things I can do without

'Cause I figured out,
These are the moments that matter (matter)
And I figured out,
That these are the moments that mean the most to me
'Cause I know I got friends, trust, family, and love
All around me, that should be enough
And I figured out that
These are the moments that matter, matter

Keep people you love close to you
'Cause when it gets tough, they'll help you pull through
No, don't let anybody take your moment from you
Because that's all that matters in the end
That's all that matters, hey

'Cause I figured out,
These are the moments that matter (matter)
They matter to me
And I figured out,
That these are the moments that mean the most to me
'Cause I know I got friends, trust, family, and love
All around me, that should be enough
And I figured out that,
These are the moments that matter, matter to me
To me, to me, to me,
That's all that matters
To me, to me, to me
These are the moments
To me, to me, to me
That's all that matters
