Your small hands

From the moment I found out about you
I knew I would protect you
For as long as I could
When you were born so small and fragile
You smile as you were laid into my arms
Our eyes meet and I couldn't be more proud
To be your big sister

Every second I can be with you
Make me realize how precious youth is
And I know I might seen distant
But I love you so

Your small hands in mine
As you walk with me
Your blue eyes match with Dad
Your small hands remind me of
The innocence of being young
Oh please don't grow up
It's not all fun and games
Your small hands in mine

And it might not be perfect
But life isn't always a straight path
Maybe I'll only be here for a few years
But I do know
You'll always be my blood
And I can't promise that
Life will be smooth sailing
But I know that I love you

Every second I can be with you
Make me realize how precious youth is
And I know I might seen distant
But I love you so

Your small hands in mine
As you walk with me
Your blue eyes match with Dad
Your small hands remind me of
The innocence of being young
Oh please don't grow up
It's not all fun and games
Your small hands in mine

Call you my brother until we both go
I'm so glad your in my life
And by the time you understand
What this song means
I'll be grown
In college
Maybe married
Started a family
I know you'll know
What these words mean to me

Your small hands in mine
As you walk with me
Your blue eyes match with Dad
Your small hands remind me of
The innocence of being young
Oh please don't grow up
It's not all fun and games
Your small hands in mine

And maybe I'll watch you and dad throw footballs
While I sit in the pool
Maybe I'll drive you to pratices
I want to stay close
Even if I'm way older
I still care for you
And I never want you to think that you aren't loved
That you aren't good enough
When you are what we call perfect

Your small hands in mine
As you walk with me
Your blue eyes match with Dad
Your small hands remind me of
The innocence of being young
Oh please don't grow up
It's not all fun and games
Your small hands in mine
You are so perfect
Your small hands in
Mine
