Little Man, Nine Years Old

[Verse 1]
Little man, nine years old
Left along the road
I'm but a little girl
Come to share your load

[Chorus]
And I won't cry if you don't
I won't cry if you don't
I can trust if you can
So hold my hand, little man

[Verse 2]
Little man, nine years old
Someone turned you out
I've been alone since I was nine
I know what that's about

[Chorus]
And I won't cry if you don't
I won't cry if you don't
I can trust if you can
So hold my hand, little man

[Verse 3]
Little man, nine years old
Darkness frightens you
I'll protect you from the dark
Though it scares me, too

[Chorus]
And I won't cry if you don't
Hey, I won't cry if you don't
I can trust if you can
So hold my hand, little man

[Verse 4]
Little man, night has come
Lie here on my knee
I've been alone so many years
You're friend enough for me

[Chorus]
And I won't cry if you don't
I won't cry if you don't
I can trust if you can
So hold my hand, little man

[Outro]
And I'll hold yours, little man
