"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)

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
