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
