"Let them be little"

Lonestar is one of my favorite groups. I absolutely love their music. Maybe it's because I'm from Texas or maybe it's because their music is just amazing--either way, I'm proud to admit it! I heard a song the other day that I hadn't heard before which surprised me because I thought I knew most of their songs. It was called "Let them be little." I think it really came close to heart because I'm 6 1/2 months pregnant and soon my husband and I will have our first baby. I thought the words were so tender and beautiful. Here are the words:

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

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

I've never felt so much in one little tender touch
I live for those kisses, prayers and your wishes
Now that you're teaching me things only a child can see
Every night while we're on our knees all I ask is please

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

So innocent, a precious soul, you turn around
It's time to let them go

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

The lyrics to this song really touched me and made me realize that once our baby comes, he will grow up so fast, so we should enjoy and cherish everyday. Thank you, Lonestar!
