And you can never grow so old
That my love will not hold you
You are still my little child

A young soldier posing proudly
For a snapshot to give his bride
Too quickly the years have gone
And she?s no longer by his side
They say men don?t make this adjustment
And you?re starting to agree
For there was nothing like your lady
But your Lord says, listen to me:

And the fire glows, and your heart knows, there?s life beyond this world

(Repeat first verse
Repeat Chorus with this?

?That my love cannot hold you
And my life will enfold you
And my grace will uphold you
You?re still my little child
You?re still my little child
