Imagine sitting under a starlit sky, where the vastness of the universe feels oddly intimate. That’s the essence of Small, Small World. It’s the kind of song that gently reminds us of our shared humanity and the invisible threads connecting us all, no matter how far apart we may seem. Its lyrics weave a poignant narrative about the surprising ways our lives intersect, echoing the idea that even in this sprawling, chaotic world, we’re never truly alone.
What makes Small, Small World special is how it captures that universal truth we’ve all felt at some point—those moments when a random encounter or a shared experience makes the world feel a little smaller, a little kinder. The melody, warm and wistful, feels like it’s wrapping you in a hug, while the lyrics nudge you to reflect on the beauty of connection.
Whether it’s a chance meeting with an old friend or the comforting realization that someone across the globe shares the same hopes and dreams, this song speaks directly to the heart. It doesn’t just tell a story—it invites you to feel it, to find yourself in its lines, and to remember the magic of the seemingly ordinary moments that shrink the distance between us

Lyrics
It’s a small, small world
Fancy meetin’ you
I don’t believe I’ve seen you since
The day we both left school
Well, man, I can’t believe it
I’ve been wonderin’ where you were
This truly is amazin’
It’s a small, small world
So what have you been doin’?
Not much, what’s up with you?
I’ve been livin’ out in Denver
And I live out there too
Well, what brings you to Dallas
I finally met a girl
That really is amazin’
It’s a small, small world
It’s a small, small world
It’s a small, small world
You can say that again
It’s a small, small world
So you’re finally gettin’ married
And I want you to be there
I hope that you can come to mine
Just tell me when and where
Well, that’s up to Rita’s mother
Rita? Yeah, man, that’s insane
I know you won’t believe this
But Rita’s my girls name
So what does your Rita do?
She travels, she’s on another flight
My Rita travels too
But she’s comin’ home tonight
We ought to get together
And introduce the girls
They’d probably know each other
It’s a small, small world
It’s a small, small world
It’s a small, small world
You can say that again
It’s a small, small world
Yeah, I can’t wait to see her
With those big old eyes so blue
The blondest hair you’ve ever seen
And that butterfly tattoo
Now wait a minute buddy
Did you say butterfly tattoo? Yeah
Well I’ll be a monkey’s uncle
My Rita’s got one too
It’s a small, small world
It’s a small, small world
You can say that again
It’s a small, small world
It’s a small, small world
It’s a small, small world
You can say that again
It’s a small, small world
