Intro: D5  
 
D5                       A5 
Little folks are people too, 
 B5                     F#5 
Very much like me and you 
G5                                  D5            B5 
The little things they say and do 
         E5                         A5 
That kinda make your day 
D5                          A5 
Foolishness and common sense 
 B5                             F#5 
Through the eyes of innocence 
G5                        D5          B5 
Skip a rope, or jump a fence 
E5         A5         D5 
Getting' in the way 
 
BRIDGE: 
G5                         F#5 
Daddy, why are you so tall 
G5                         F#5 
Daddy, why am I so small 
G5                                        D5                 B5 
And, Daddy who makes snowflakes fall 
E5                        A5 
Could it be the Lord? 
 

D5                          A5 
Chasin' puppies, climbin' trees, 
 B5                            F#5 
Bumpin' heads and skinnin' knees, 
G5                    D5           B5 
It's not very hard to see 
E5                            A5 
That kids are God's reward 
 

D5                        A5 
Little folks get down and out 
 B5                                       F#5 
The girls will cry, and the boys will pout 
G5                                  D5    B5 
'Fore you know what it's about 
             E5                 A5 
They're smilin' once again 
D5                          A5 
Colored kites on summer breeze 
 B5                      F#5 
Jingle bells and Christmas trees 
G5                                    D5         B5 
Too soon they're only memories 
E5             A5           D5 
Do you remember when 
 
BRIDGE: 
G5                                F#5 
Daddy, what makes eagles fly 
G5                                         F#5 
What makes clouds float in the sky 
 

G5                         D5        B5 
And,Daddy, if I really try 
       E5                 A5 
Will I grow up someday? 
 

D5                        A5 
Little folks slip through our hands 
 B5                  F#5 
Like so many grains of sand 
G5                            D5              B5 
We best enjoy it, while we can 
E5                           A5             D5 
So soon  ?.   They fly  ?..   away
