Stay Little

(album: Look Ahead And See The Distance - 2018)

I remember very well, my daughter's little arms around my neck
And how she told me not to go away, but if I did, when would I be back
How she looked at me and said
"I love you daddy, please why can't you stay"
Meanwhile my heart flipped over in it's cage
I had to push my blues away

Hey little darling
Please know that there's plenty of time
Hey little darling
Keep the boys and your makeup in line
Stay little for a while

I remember very well, all the promises I made and took away
And all the times I wasn't there to
Hold you close to me when you were afraid
And now it's 3 o'clock in the morning and it's me who lies awake

Hey little darling
Please know that there's plenty of time
Hey little darling
Keep the boys and your makeup in line
And stay little for a while

Hey little darling
Please know that there's plenty of time
Hey little darling
Keep the boys and your makeup in line
Stay little for a while
