Little Folks Lyrics - Charlie Daniels Band

Little folks are people too 

Very much like me and you 

The little things they say and do 

They kinda make your day 

Foolishness and common sense 

Through the eyes of innocence 

Skip a rope or jump a fence 

Gettin' in the way 

Daddy, why are you so tall? 

Daddy, why am I so small? 

Daddy, who makes snowflakes fall? 

Could it be the Lord? 

Chasing puppies, climbin' trees 

Bumping heads and skinnin' knees 

It's not very hard to see 

That kids are God's reward 

Little folks get down and out 

The girls will cry and boys will pout 

Before you know what it's about 

They're smiling once again 

Colored kites on summer breeze 

Jingle Bells and Christmas trees 

Too soon they're only memories 

Do you remember when? 

Daddy, what makes eagles fly? 

What makes clouds float in the sky? 

And Daddy, if I really try 

Will I grow up someday? 

But little folks slip through our hands 

Like so many grains of sand 

You'd best enjoy them while you can 

So soon they fly away...
