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's just like her mama
 When she takes 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
 Til she's walking out my door
 Let me love her a little
 'Til she's not little anymore
 Little hug, little laugh
 Years go by just like that
 A little girl is in my arms
 Where a baby used to be
 Sippy cups, teddy bears
 Ponytail in her hair
 She changes right before my eyes
 And I try so hard to breathe
 How could something so small
 Take so much space in your heart
 She just started talking
 But she tears me all apart
 I just pray for time to crawl
 Til she's walking out my door
 Let me love her a little
 'Til she's not little anymore
 They call out in the night
 Thunder made them cry
 They get right in the middle
 Between their mom and me
 I look at my wife
 Tears fill up my eyes
 We feel the baby kicking
 He's gonna be here any day
 How could something so small
 Take so much space in your heart
 He's not even here yet
 But he tears me all apart
 I just pray for time to crawl
 Til he's walking out my door
 Let me love him a little
 'Til he's not little anymore
 Let me love them a little
 'Til they're not little anymore
