I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand

Felt so good in it, no bigger than a minute

And how it amazes me, you're changin' with every blink

Faster than a flower blooms, grow up all too soon, so



Chorus

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.

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.

And now that you're teachin' me things only a child can see,

Every night while we're on our knees all I ask is please,



Chorus

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.

Oh, just let them be little.



So innocent, a precious soul,

Turn around, it's time to let them go, so



Chorus

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.

Oh, just let them be little.



Let them be little.
