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 every day
Let them cry, let them giggle
Let them sleep in the middle
But let them be little
See, I've never felt so much
One little tender touch
I live for those kisses
All your prayers and your wishes
But now 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
But let them be little
So when a soul is broken
This 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 every day
Let them cry, let them giggle
Let them sleep in the middle
But let them be little
Let them be little
Let them be little
Thank you.
