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

D                          A 
Chasin' puppies, climbin' trees, 
 Bm                            F#m 
Bumpin' heads and skinnin' knees, 
G                    D           Bm 
It's not very hard to see 
Em                            A 
That kids are God's reward 
 

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

G                         D        Bm 
And,Daddy, if I really try 
       E                 A 
Will I grow up someday? 
 

D                        A 
Little folks slip through our hands 
 Bm                  F#m 
Like so many grains of sand 
G                            D              Bm 
We best enjoy it, while we can 
Em                           A             D 
So soon  ?.   They fly  ?..   away
