Little Hands In Three-Time

Verse 1

Two small shoes by the front door mat

Crayon suns on the wall I meant to paint

Spilled milk lake on the kitchen floor

You laugh so hard you both forget you’re late

Chorus

Oh my children

Round and ’round we sway

Slow little circles at the end of the day

I hold your weight

You hold my heart

Turn

Turn

Turn

Never drift too far

Oh my children

Keep this waltz in your feet

Wherever you wander

That’s how we’ll meet

Verse 2

Bedtime books with the corners torn

Questions stacked higher than the moon

“I’ll be big

Will you still be here?”

You’re asleep before I can answer you

Chorus

Oh my children

Round and ’round we sway

Slow little circles at the end of the day

I hold your weight

You hold my heart

Turn

Turn

Turn

Never drift too far

Oh my children

Keep this waltz in your feet

Wherever you wander

That’s how we’ll meet

Bridge

One day keys in your grown-up hands

Suitcase wheels humming down the hall

I’ll stand small in your giant plans

Still hearing tiny footsteps call (dad…)

Chorus

Oh my children

Round and ’round we sway

Slow little circles at the end of the day

I hold your weight

You hold my heart

Turn

Turn

Turn

Even when we’re apart

Oh my children

Keep this waltz in your feet

Wherever you wander

That’s how we’ll meet
