Love Them a Little

Little feet
Little toes
Little smile
Little nose
She got me wrapped around her finger
Like no-one ever has
She just like her mama
When she holds my hand
I’m looking at an angel
And I try to understand
How could something so small take so much space in your heart
She just started walking
But she tears me all apart
I just pray for time to crawl
As she’s walking out my door
Let me love her a little
Till she’s not little anymore
Little hug
Little laugh
They go by just like that
Little girl is in my arms
Where a baby used to be
Sippy Cups
Teddy Bears
Pony tail in her hair
She changes right before my eyes
And I try to hard to breathe
How could something so small take so much space in your heart
She just started walking
But she tears me all apart
I just pray for time to crawl
As she’s walking out my door
Let me love her a little
Till she’s not little anymore
They called out in the night
Thunder made them cry
They get right in the middle
Between their mom and I
I look at my wife
Tears fill up my eyes
I feel the baby kickin'
He’s gonna be here anyday
How could something so small take so much space in your heart
He’s not even here yet
But he tears my heart apart
I just pray for time to crawl
Till he’s walking out my door
Let me love him a little
Till him not little anymore
Let me love them a little
Till there not little anymore
