Hey Little One

from Perfect World Today by Peter Galperin

/

lyrics

(verse 1)
Wake up, sleepyhead, rise and shine, get out of bed.
Put your dreams on hold, I know you want to get older,
but when you do I’ll be older too.

(verse 2)
What will you grow up to be? So many possibilities.
Now go and play with your friends, I’m not sure when childhood ends,
but when it does I hope I’m still here for you.

(chorus)
Hey, little one, you’re a miracle.
I could swear you’ve grown by an inch or two,
since you went to bed last night.

Hey, little one, you’re my hero,
with a plastic sword and a cardboard shield,
and a mask you made that looks so real.

(verse 3)
Soon enough you’ll be grown,
with a life all your own.
And of all the things that I’ll miss,
your smile, your laugh, it’s the little kiss
you give me when you go out the door to school.

(verse 4)
Tell me what you learned today?
Did you study the Milky Way?
So when you look at the stars tonight,
just squint your eyes and you might
see something you’ve never seen before.
