G                   C                              
I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand
Am      C/G          C               D
Felt so good in it, no bigger than a minute
G                 C
How it amazes me, you're changing with every blink
Am            C/G           C                    D
Faster than a flower blooms they grow up all too soon.

    G   D       C                     G         D       C
So, let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
          G               D                 C                   
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
         Am            C/G              C            G      
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Am  D                G
Oh, just let them be little.

G                       C                              
I've never felt so much in one little tender touch
Am               C/G     C                     D
I live for those kisses, your prayers and your wishes
G                               C
And now that you're teaching me things only a child can see
Am                  C/G          C            D
Tonight while we're on our knees all I ask is please.


G   D       C                     G         D        C
Let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
          G               D                 C              
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
         Am            C/G              C            G      
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Am  D                G
Oh, just let them be little.


Em            G               Am
So innocent, a precious soul, you turn around and
D
It's time to let them go.


    G   D       C                     G         D       C
So, let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
          G               D                 C              
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
         Am            C/G              C            G      
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Am  D                G
Oh, just let them be little.
