When you were small, and I was tall,

I held you in my arms

Gazed in your eyes, and realized,

I'd fallen for your charms.

When you were small, and I was tall,

Life was simpler and sweet

I only had to love you,

And give you food to eat.

When you were small, and I was tall...

It seems so long ago,

Children do not wait for you,

How quickly they do grow.

When you were small, and I was tall...

I loved with all my heart,

Not just from when I held you,

But from the very start.

Now I am small, and you are tall...

And soon you'll walk your way

I gaze into your grown-up eyes

Remembering the day...

When you were small, and I was tall....
