Little Man – The Icarus Account

I wish I could make time stand still
Pause everything and just keep you little
‘Cause these memories
Are fadin’ like dreams
I wish that I could stay home always
Sit here forever and watch as you play
You learned to clap today
But I was singin’ in some other place

And I don’t wanna miss anything

You got the brightest eyes I’ve ever seen
I feel your heart beat as you fall asleep on me
Always, always
You’ll always be my little man

I hope you grow to be strong and brave
But before anything, kind and gracious
‘Cause if I’ve learned anything
It’s that people are worth loving

And I hope you don’t miss anything

You’ve got the brightest eyes I’ve ever seen
I feel your heart beat as you fall asleep on me
Always, always
You’ll always be my little man
Your laugh the sweetest sound I’ve ever heard
There’s so much joy in you and more to be discovered
Always, always
You’ll always be my little man

And, as you grow up, take your time
Slow things down and enjoy the ride
‘Cause life only happens this once
I know you’ll make the most of it, son
Just know in your soul, wherever you go
No matter what happens, and no matter when
You’ll always be, you’ll always be mine

You’ve got the brightest eyes I’ve ever seen
I feel your heart beat as you fall asleep on me
Always, always
You’ll always be my little man
Your laugh the sweetest sound I’ve ever heard
There’s so much joy in you and more to be discovered
Always, always
You’ll always be my little man
