"Let Them Be Little"

[Originally written and sung by Billy Dean]

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

Let them be little

 
Live Like You Were Dying...


He said I was in my early forties with a lot of life before me when a moment came that stopped me on a dime...
and I spent most of the next days looking at the x-rays
Talking bout the options and talking 'bout sweet time
I asked him when it sank in that this might really be the real end
How's it hit you when you get that kinda news...
man what'd you do?
And he said...
I went sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named BluManchu
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
And he said someday I hope you get the chance... to live like you were dying.
He said I was finally the husband that most the time I wasn't...
And I became a friend a friend would like to have...
And all the sudden going fishin wasn't such an imposition...
And I went three times that year I lost my dad.
Well I finally read the good book...
And I took a good long hard look
At what I'd do if I could do it all again
and then...
I went sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named BluManchu
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
And he said someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dying...
Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about...
What'd you do with it? What did you do with it?
What did I do with it?
What would I do with it'
Sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named BluManchu
And then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
And I watched an eagle as it was flying
And he said someday I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying.
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying

Sara
   ------Rascal Flatts


Sara Beth is scared to death
To hear what the doctor will say
She hasn't been well
Since the day that she fell
and the bruise that just won't go away

so she sits and she waits with her mother and dad
flips through an old magazine
Til the nurse with a smile stands at the door
and says Will You Please Come with Me?

Sara Beth is scared to death
cause the doctor just told her the news
between the red cells and white
something's not right
but we're gunna take care of you

six chances and ten it won't come back again
with the therapy we're gunna try
its just been approved it's the strongest there is
and i think we caught in time
and sara beth closes her eyes

and she dreams she dancing around and around
without any cares
and her very first love
is holding her close
and the soft wind was blowing her hair

Sara beth is scared to death
as she sits holding her mom
cause it'll be a mistake
for someone to take a girl with no hair to the prom

for this morning right there on her pillow
was the cruelest of any surprise
and she cried when she gathered it all in her hands
the proof that she couldnt deny
sara beth closes her eyes

and she dreams she dancing around and around
without any cares
and her very first love
is holding her close
and the soft wind was blowing her hair

it's quarter still seven
that boy's at the door
and her daddy ushers him in
when he takes off his cap they all start to cry
cause this morning where his hair had been
softly she touches just skin

and they go dancing around and around
without any cares
and her very first true love
is holding her close
for a moment she isn't scared

 
 
 
I Hope You Dance


I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat, but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

Chorus: I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give fate a fighting chance
and when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance, I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances, but they're worth taking
Loving might be a mistake but it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance (time is a wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance (rolling us along)
I hope you dance (tell me who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance (where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean.
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens.
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance.
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

Danceā€¦
I hope you dance (time is a wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance (rolling us along)
I hope you dance (tell me who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance (where those years have gone)

Lyrics by: Lee Ann Womack

 

The Dance


Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared, beneath the stars above.
For a moment, all the world was right,
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye?

And now, I'm glad I didn't know,
The way It all would end,
The way It all would go,
Our lives are better left to chance,
I could have missed the pain,
But I'd of had to miss the dance.

Holding you, I held everything,
For a moment wasn't I the king?
But If I'd only known how the king would fall,
Hey who's to say, you know I might have changed It all,

And now, I'm glad I didn't know,
The way It all would end,
The way It all would go,
Our lives are better left to chance,
I could have missed the pain,
But I'da had to miss the dance.

It's my life, It's better left to chance,
I could have missed the pain,
But I'da had to miss
The dance

Lyrics~Garth Brooks

 

Sweet Child Of Mine...


He's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see his face
He takes me away to that
special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

He's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
His hair reminds me
of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine
