Let Them Be Little

(Richie McDonald/Billy Dean)
 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...
