Little Man
Sonny And Cher · Other Songs - Sonny And Cher
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
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 it's time that you 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
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 and me is what I see
And that's the way
It's gonna stay
And it will always be
So little man
Please understand
That in this world with all its land
You're all I see
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
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
