If i could keep you a little
I'd hum you lullabies.
But then i'd miss you singing.
Your concert's big surprise.
If i could keep you a little,
I'd hold your hand everywhere.
But then i'd missyou knowing
'I can go.... you stay there.'
If i could keep you a little,
I'd kiss your cuts and scrapes.
But then i'd missyou
Learning from your own mistakes.
If i could keep you a little,
I'd strap you in real tight.
But then i'd miss you swimming
From your treetop height.
If i could keep you a little,
I'd decide on matching clothes.
But then i'd miss you choosing
Dots on top amd stripes below.
If i could keep you a little,
I'd cut your bread into shapes.
But then i'd miss you finding,
'Hey! I like ketchup with my grapes!'
If i could you keep a little,
I'd tell ypu stories every night.
But then i'd miss ypu reading
The words you've learned by sight.
If i could keep you a little,
I'd push ypu anywhere.
But then i'd miss you feeling
Your speed from here to there!
If i could keep you a little,
I'd pick for you a friend or two
But then i'd miss you finding
Friends you like who like you too!
If i could keep you a little,
We'd finger paint our art.
But then i'd miss you creating
Stories from your heart.
If i could keep you a little,
I'd push your ducky float
But then i'd miss you feeling
The wind behind summer's boat.
If i could keep you a little,
We'd nap in our fort midday.
But then i'd miss you sharing
Adventure's from camp away.
If i could keep you a little,
I'd fly you with my feet.
But then i'd miss you seeing
Sky and clouds from your seat.
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!
