Little People Lyrics

Hands on the clock cradle you soft, until it's time to let go

Holding you tight as day turns into night, but those hands they'll never slow

It can't last, not ours to grasp, and it all goes by a little too fast

Each moment quicker than the last, until it's time to let go

Those hands, they'll never slow

Watch the sun go down on all the little people in their little houses down below

Light creeps behind the mountaintops and the air grows colder on my cheeks and nose

And the people peek out from their homes, through the curtains and the glass

To watch as nights' fairies paint the sky, and let another little day pass

From the road I can see them look up from their books and TVs

And sigh as the shadows fall from the lampposts on the street

And it all goes by a little too fast, seconds floating through our little hands

Oh, it all goes by a little too fast, for us little people to understand

It all goes by a little too fast

It all goes by a little too fast

Watching through the curtains and the glass

Sigh and smile, let another day pass

And the people peek out from their homes, through the curtains and the glass

To watch as nights' fairies paint the sky, and let another little day pass

It all goes by a little too fast

It all goes by a little too fast

It all goes by a little too fast

Sigh and smile, let another day pass

It all goes by a little too fast

It all goes by a little too fast

It all goes by a little too fast

Sigh and smile, let another day pass

It can't last, not ours to grasp

And it all goes by a little too fast

Each season quicker than the last

This time's not ours to hold, but we'll watch as each day goes
