Standard (EADGBE)

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, your prayers and your wishes

And now that you're teaching me things 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, just 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 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.
