Lyrics

LITTLE MAN

The air is thick and warm tonight
But flickers not the candle light
I write these words to draw you near
And whisper sweetness in your ear

I sing my song with tender heart
So you will know when we’re apart
That memory leaves a softer trace
And brings to me your smiling face

I hold your laughter in my soul
And as you live and breathe and grow
We’ll learn to share a common voice
Not by force of will, but choice

My thoughts enfold you every day
While on a bended knee I pray
That God will keep you in his care
Little Man and angel fair

The world will turn and render change
Distorting all that’s prearranged
But I’ll remain just as I am
In love with you, the Little Man

I watch you as you fall asleep
And dreams begin to draw you deep
Into imagination’s lair
And Lucky Dragon’s tender care

I think about my childhood years
With gracious smiles and bitter tears
I pray the innocence you will keep
For I could not, while I did sleep

But you who are a blessed child
With nature strong and pure and wild
Have drawn my past out from the night
And bathes my hopes in youthful light

So as my visions travel far
I’ll wish upon the brightest star
When time is still at journey’s end
This boy turned man will be my friend

The world will turn and render change
Distorting all that’s prearranged
But I’ll remain just as I am
In love with you, the Little Man
