"Love Them A Little" lyrics

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 anyday

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
