Tekst en muziek: Sonny Bono
(1966)
Little man, when you stand by my side
Then I know, I don’t have to hide from anyone
And I pray that we’ll stay just that way
Till the day comes along when we catch the sun
Little girl, you’re runnin’
Come catch my hand, I’m near you
Little girl, you’re singin’
Come close to me, I hear you
You’re growin’ old, my mother’s cold
Now it’s time that you’ve learned what it meant to be mature
There’s no such place as make believe
But when I look at your face, I’m not so sure
Little girl, you’re runnin’
Come catch my hand, I’m near you
Little girl, you’re singin’
Come close to me, I hear you
You and me is what I see
And that’s the way it’s gonna stay and it will always be
So little man, please understand
That in this world with all its land, you’re all I see
Little girl, you’re runnin’
Come catch my hand, I’m near you
Little girl, you’re singin’
Come close to me, I hear you
Little girl, you’re runnin’
Come catch my hand, I’m near you
Little girl, you’re singin’
Come close to me, I hear you
