And this song here is a kind of a special tune to me.
We don't do very many ballads, but we wrote this one and decided we wanted to record it.
I think the older I get, the more I love little children and children of all ages.
And I've come to the conclusion that other than his own son, that's the greatest gift God ever gave us.
And this is a tune that we're kind of fond of.
We hope you're fond of it, too.
It's called Little Folks Are People, [D] Too.
Little [A] folks are people, too.
[B]
Very [F#m] much like me.
[G] The little things they [G] say and do
[E] kind of make your [A] day.
[D]
Foolishness [A] and common sense
[B] [Bm] through the
[F#m] eyes of innocence.
[G] Skip a rope, [D] jump [B] fence,
[E] [A] getting in the [D] way.
[D] [G] Daddy, why [F#m] are you so tall?
[G] Daddy, why [F#m] am I so small?
[G] Daddy, [D] who makes snowflakes [Bm] from?
[E] Could [A] it be the Lord?
[D] Chasing puppies, [A]
climbing trees,
[Bm] bumping [F#m] heads, skinning knees.
[G] It's not [D] very hard to see
[E] that [A] kids are [D] God's reward.
Little [A] folks get down and out.
[B]
The [F#m] girls will cry and the boys will bout.
[G]
Before you know [D] what it's about,
[E]
they're smiling once [A] again.
[D]
Colored kites [A] on summer breeze,
[Bm]
jingle bells, [F#m] Christmas trees.
[G]
Too soon, they're [D] only [Bm] memories.
[Em] Do [A] you remember [D] when?
[G]
Daddy, [F#m] what makes eagles fly?
[G]
What makes [F#m] clouds float in the sky?
[G] Daddy, [D] if I really [Bm] try,
[E]
will I grow up [A] someday?
[D]
[A] But little folks slip through our hands
[Bm]
like so [F#m] many grays of sand.
[G]
Best enjoy [D] them [Bm] while we can.
[Em] So soon, [A] they fly [D] away.
