Little Leah Lyrics
Little Leah
Words and Music by: Don Lewis Millard
Verse 1
Little Leah, waking in the early morning light
When the sun comes shining through
Blue eyed beauty, hair of golden blonde and smile so bright
They don’t see the real you
Shaking deep inside from fear of what’s to be
Grandma pegged you from the start
Holding daddy’s hand and squeezing with each step
I’ll always hold you in my heart
Chorus-1
Little Leah though I don’t find time to say
There’s a hole in me when you are away
As long as I’m alive you will know its true
Little Leah I am very proud of you
Verse 2
Now a woman, sorting out the hours of daily life
What is going on inside
Nine years later, it’s time that I complete this birthday song
To have throughout your life
I’m shaking deep inside from fear of what’s to be
In those days when we’re apart
Will you hold my hand when I can’t walk myself?
Will you keep me in your heart?
Chorus-2
Little Leah though we’ve had some painful days
Mature beyond your years, you knew just what to say
I’m hoping all through life that you will still stay true
To those core ideals locked deep …inside of you
Bridge
And so, when you grow
I hope that you let others see inside
And though, we can’t know
I’m wishing that you have the best in life
Verse 3
My sweet Leah, always there to help one find the way
So intrigued by things she views
An avid reader, keeping me at night with Spot and Jane
In search of hidden clues
I’m shaking deep inside with fear of what's to be
Though I’ve been there from the start
Losing other's hands while traveling life's steps
Always keep them in your heart
Chorus-3
Little Leah, though I don’t find time to say
There’s a hole in me when you are away
As long as I’m alive you will know its true
My dear Leah, I will always love you.
