If I Could Keep You Little

If I could keep you little ..

.. but then I'd miss you singing.

If I could keep you little,

I'd hold your hand everywhere ..

.. but then I'd miss you knowing, "I can go .. you stay there."

If I could keep you little,

I'd kiss your cuts and scrapes ..

.. but then I'd miss you learning from your own mistakes.

If I could keep you little,

I'd strap you in real tight.

If I could keep you little,

I'd keep you close to me ..

.. but then I'd miss you growing into who you're meant to be!
