lyrics

Tiny hands and wrinkled feet
You have made my world complete
Never knew what I could be
'Til you nuzzled into me
Brought another kind of love
Feels like echoes from above
A well of joy beyond belief
Just bouncin' on my knee

And I wanna give you the stars
While I keep you safe in my arms
But you gotta reach for the moon
So you can find your own tune

See those marks upon the wall
Tell me how'd you get so tall
Ain't no way it's been that long
But look at you, I must be wrong
You're so anxious to be grown
Soaring to the great unknown
But I'd rather keep you small
To catch you when you fall

And I wanna give you the stars
While I keep you safe in my arms
But you gotta reach for the moon
So you can find your own tune

Though patience fails at times
You'll always be mine

And I wanna give you the stars
While I keep you safe in my arms
But you gotta reach for the moon
So you can find your own tune

Tiny hands and wrinkled feet
You have made my world complete
