let them be little...

I can remember when you fit in the
palm of my hand,
Felt so good in it, no bigger than a
minute;
How it amazes me, you're changing with
every blink
Faster than a flower blooms, they grow
up all too soon ...

So, let them be little, 'cause they're
only that way for a while;
Give them hope, give them praise, give
them love every day;
Let them cry, let them giggle, let
them sleep in the middle,
Oh, just let them be little ...

I've never felt so much in one little
tender touch;
I live for those kisses, prayers and
your wishes;
Now that you're teaching me things
only a child can see,
Every night while we're on our knees,
all I ask is please ...

Let them be little, 'cause they're
only that way for a while;
Give them hope, give them praise, give
them love every day;
Let them cry, let them giggle, let
them sleep in the middle,
Oh, just let them be little ...

So innocent, a precious soul, you turn
around
It's time to let them go ...

So, let them be little, 'cause they're
only that way for a while;
Give them hope, give them praise, give
them love every day;
Let them cry, let them giggle, let
them sleep in the middle,
Oh, just let them be little ...

Let them be little ...
