Picnics on the kitchen floor
Buggy races in the grocery store
Papa, can we read one more before we go to bed
Get the camera, make it last
Slow down, doll, don’t grow so fast
Seems the years are flyin’ past
It’s hard to stay ahead
Stand in the dark and watch them sleep
Pray the Lord their soul to keep
Never know feelings ran so deep for little things like this
CHORUS:
Precious moments
Don’t let me miss you
Don’t let me pass you by.
Precious moments
Oh, what treasures, wealth beyond measure
Right here in these little eyes.
Baby dolls and ballet shoes
Big blue eyes I can’t refuse
Someday she’ll be 22, what’ll I do then?
One day there’ll be a younger man
He’ll ask me for this precious hand
Lord, keep him safe and help him stand
And keep his heart from sin
