Little man, when you stand by my side Then I know I don't have to hide from anyone And I pray that we'll stay just that way Till the day comes along when we catch the sun. [Chorus: x2] Little girl you're runnin' Come catch my hand I'm near you Little girl you're singin' Come close to me I hear you You're growin' old, my mother's cold Now you've learned what it meant to be mature There's no such place as make believe But when I look at your face, I'm not so sure You and me is what I see And that's the way its gonna stay and it will always be So little man, please understand In this world with all its land You're all I see [Chorus: x2]
