Little One

Oh little one, i know you will grow so bold and strong
Oh beautiful, there's no way you can go wrong
But tread in footsteps follow my heel
I'll provide a break, a shield. ooh.

Oh little one, i know they'll be knocking at my door
Oh beautiful, you'll go
And you'll leave them wanting more.

But tread in footsteps follow my heel
I'll provide a break, a shield. ooh.
And even when cold wind's blowing right through
I'll cripple my back to shelter you.. you.

And when they're calling your name
Donʼt forget what you're leaving
ʻcause i'll be singing the same
Little song that i taught you this evening
By the fireside whilst you lay sleeping, little one.

Now my girl, you'll fall for the one who doesnt care
How he'll hold your heart and how he'll hold your stare

But tread in footsteps follow my heel
I'll provide a break, a shield. ooh.
And even when cold wind's blowing right through
I'll cripple my back to shelter you.. you.

And when he's calling your name
Donʼt forget what you're leaving
ʻcause i'll be singing the same
Little song that i taught you this evening
By the fireside whilst you lay sleeping, little one.
