I can remember when
You fit in the palm of my hand
You felt so good in it
No bigger then a minute
Now it amazes me
Your changing with every blink
Faster then a flower blooms
You grow up all too soon

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
Ahhh 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
Now your teaching me
How only a child can see
Tonight when 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 everyday
Let them cry let them giggle
Let them sleep in the middle
Ahhh but let them be little

Soooo only the sun
Precious soul
Turn around and its time to let them go

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
Ahhh but let them be little
