Lyrics
Little man
When you stand by my side
Then I know I don’t have to hide from anyone
And I pray that we’ll stay just that way
‘Til the day comes along when we catch the sun
Little girl, you’re runnin’
Come catch my hand, I’m near you
Little girl, you’re singin’
Come close to me, I hear you
You’re growin’ old
My mother’s cold
Now it’s time that you learned
What it meant to be mature
There’s no such place as make believe
But when I look at your face
I’m not so sure
Little girl, you’re runnin’
Come catch my hand, I’m near you
Little girl, you’re singin’
Come close to me, I hear you
You and me is what I see
And that’s the way it’s gonna stay
And it will always be
So little man please understand
That in this world with all its land
You’re all I see
Little girl, you’re runnin’
Come catch my hand, I’m near you
Little girl, you’re singin’
Come close to me, I hear you
Little girl, you’re runnin’
Come catch my hand, I’m near you
Little girl, you’re singin’
Come close to me, I hear you
