Toto

[Verse 1]
Times like these shake up the world
When you can't find the pearls
You once held in your hand
How can all these things keep changing so fast?
You can't count on anything to last
I just don't understand
How it can keep evolving?

[Chorus]
I'm in a trace in a smile in a photograph
When I'm down and we talk and you make me laugh
That reminds me it's the little things in life
Ooh That matter

[Verse 2]
Through the window I can see
Sky's stretched to eternity
It's so easy to feel so lost
All around there are people full of fear
Inside things they've seen it clear
But the noise comes at a cost
And you're lost in a bad dream

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
If you were standing here you'd take me in your arms
And hold me
And nobody can hold me closer
What I've been looking for all my life
Is right in front of me
It's how the sun bounces off a blade of grass
It's the memories that are in your past
Matchbox car with the wheel gone
Tub of ice cream with your favorite song

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Matchbox car with the wheel gone
Tub of ice cream with your favorite song

[Chorus]
I'm in a trace in a smile in a photograph
When I'm down and we talk and you make me laugh
That reminds me it's the little things in life
That matter
That reminds me it's the little things
I'm gonna try
That reminds me it's the little things
That matter
That reminds me it's the little things
That matter

[Outro]
Now I know everything that I'm looking for
It's the sound of your key turning in the door
Now I know that it's the little things in life
Ooh that matter
Yes I know it's the little things in life

Toto is an American rock band formed in 1977 in Van Nuys in Los Angeles, California. The band’s current lineup consists of Joseph Williams (lead vocals), David Paich (keyboards, vocals), Steve Porcaro (keyboards), Steve Lukather (guitars, vocals), Shem von Schroeck (bass), and Shannon Forrest (drums). Toto is known for a musical style that combines elements of pop, rock, soul, funk, progressive rock, hard rock, R&B, blues, and jazz.

David Paich and Jeff Porcaro had played together as session musicians on several albums and decided to form a band. David Hungate, Steve Lukather, Steve Porcaro, and Bobby Kimball were recruited before their first album release. The band enjoyed great commercial success in the late 1970s and 1980s, beginning with the band’s eponymous debut released in 1978. With the release of the critically acclaimed and commercially successful Toto IV from 1982, Toto became one of the best-selling music groups of their era. They are best known for the Top 5 hits “Hold the Line”, “Rosanna”, and “Africa”. Several changes to the lineup have been made over the years. Hungate left in 1982 followed by Kimball in 1984 but rejoined the band in 1998 until 2008. Jeff Porcaro died in 1992 of a heart attack. Hungate rejoined Toto as a touring musician and later a band member. In 2008, Lukather announced his departure from the band, and the remaining band members later went their separate ways. In the summer of 2010, Toto reformed and went on a short European tour, with a new lineup, to benefit Mike Porcaro, who had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and was no longer an active member of the band.

The band has released a total of 17 albums, and have sold over 40 million albums to date. The group was honored with several Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2009.
