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 

                    Let them be little
