I was perusing the recent blog entries tonight and came across this post from
Judy at Sur Cum Corda. I'm sure many of you have heard this song before, but I don't listen to country music, so I hadn't heard it yet. Don't worry, it's not *too* country, for those like me. :-)
I can definitely use this reminder - often. I know my boys are definitely growing up too fast. So I decided I'd post the lyrics here for future reference - mine or anyone else's. The video is neat, too, so either view it at the blog I linked to above, or you can also
»» Click Here to Watch the Video ««. The video does add a lot to the song, so take a look at it if you can.
Let Them Be Little
(Richie McDonald/Billy Dean)
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 awhile
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 that 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 awhile
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, a 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 awhile
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.
Let them be little...
Jodi
