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
Oh but let them be little
I never felt so much

in one little tender touch
I live for those kisses
Your prayers and your wishes
And 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

Oh but 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 every day
Let them cry

Let them giggle
Let them sleep in the middle
Oh but let them be little
But let them be little
