Strum
D-DU-UDU
 
Little  boy, when you speak
I  can't help but kiss your cheeks
I  love the way you grab my hands
And  tell me all about your plans
Rocket  high, comets fly
You  and I could take a ride
And  fly away to Neverland
And  give our best to Peter Pan
 When you reach  for the stars
 Don't forget  who you are
 And please don't turn  around and grow up way too fast
 See the sand  in my grasp
 From the first  to the last
 Every grain  becomes a memory of the past
 Oh, life's  an hourglass
Life's  an hourglass
 Story's read, prayer is said
 Close your eyes sleepyhead
 While angels linger in your dreams
 And hold you in their feathered wings
 Just like you, I was small
 Not that long ago at all
 I wish you all the happiness
 That God gives freely if you ask
