Let Them Be Little

If you haven't already noticed...I love song lyrics...they make me laugh, they make me cry, some make me happy, some make me
sad. My sister in-law Kayla is a HUGE Billy Dean fan. She introduced this song to me several years ago. This morning as I woke up (way to early) t0 find Peyton snuggled deep in the covers - this song POPPED into my brain. When I came home from my walk this is what I found. Bubba is our baby and he is growing so fast...much like the rest of our babies. Sometimes as mom and dad we get grumpy when our beds and our sleep are interrupted by little people, but it won't be to much longer and they won't need those middle of the night cuddles and then what?? So I think I'll save my middle of the night complaining for when they give me something to really complain about...hopefully they will totally perfect and not give me any middle of the night anything!!! LOL Hey, I can dream, hope, pray.... but right now I think I will just 'let them be little'.









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 changin' 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 'em hope, give them praise,
Give them love every day.
Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle,
Let 'em 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 an' your wishes.
An' now you're teachin' 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 a while.
Give them hope, give them praise,
Give them love every day.
Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle,
Let 'em sleep in the middle,
Oh, but let them be little.
The so innocent, precious soul:
You turn around, an' 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 'em praise,
Give them love every day.
Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle,
Let them sleep in the middle,
Oh, but let them be little.
Let them be little
