Let Them Be Little

I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand
You 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 everyday
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, your prayers and your wishes
Now that you’re teaching me how only a child can see
Tonight 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, precious soul, you turn around and 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 everyday
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little
Let them be little
