" Little Big Steps ".

Lyrics

​[Intro] [ Slow Sustained Reverb Guitar ] [ Melancholic Piano Melody, Deep Mournful Cello Swells ]
(Soft acoustic guitar or piano melody)
​[Verse 1]
I was sitting down drinking coffee on a Beautiful Sunny day
Little girl was crawling on the floor
As I glanced into the living room, she pulled herself up to make her way
She was trying to take her first Steps by the front door
​[Verse 2]
I rushed over to grab her hands and her arms to make sure she didn't fall
I remember feeling as proud as a father can get
I'm thinking about her mother as it feels like she's missing it all
All of her firsts in life, her smile, her giggly laugh, and now her little Big Steps
​[Interlude] [ Cello Rises In Volume ]
I know she would be proud, she's watching over us every day
I gave little girl a kiss on her head and told her it will all be okay
​[Chorus]
It's not always gonna be easy, but just know that you're never alone
There's gonna be good days and some bad days, but just remember how much you've grown
I'll always hold your hand and make sure that you take a deep breath
As you're making your way to where you're going
I want to make sure you take... little Big Steps
(Little Big steps, little Big steps, little Big Steps, little Big steps)
​[Verse 3]
Fast forward to her being seventeen, just getting out of school
Graduation day was finally here
I'm crying in the front row while still trying to look cool
She saw me crying and she couldn't hold back the tears
​[Verse 4]
She had her mother's smile and her beautiful eyes
It brought me back to when we first met
Hearing her laugh is like she's always close by
Those are the things I'll never forget
​[Interlude] [ Music Stops Abruptly Single Piano Haunting Notes ]
Before she got to go hang with her friends, I told her there’s something I want her to know
She has the most beautiful heart, I never want her happiness to end
I want you to know this before I let you go
​[Chorus] [ Heavy Emotional Build Up ]
It's not always gonna be easy, but just know that you're never alone
There's gonna be good days and some bad days, but just remember how much you've grown
I'll always hold your hand and make sure that you take a deep breath
As you're making your way to where you're going
I want to make sure you take... little Big Steos
(Little Big steps, little Big steps, little Big steps, little Big steps)
​[Bridge] [ Emotional Break Stopped Back To Just Piano and Cello ]
Fast forward to five years down the road, it was finally her wedding day
She met a man who promised to have and to hold
I mean, what more could I say?
As I walked her down the aisle and I was about to give her away
I reminded her of what I told her when she was little and took her first Little Big steps that day
I said...
​[Chorus ] [ Heavy Emotional Build Up ]
It's not always gonna be easy, but just know that you're never alone
There's gonna be good days and some bad days, but just remember how much you've grown
I'll always hold your hand and make sure that you take a deep breath
As you're making your way to where you're going
I want to make sure you take... little Big steps
(Little Big steps, little Big steps, Little Big steps, little Big steps)
​[Outro] [ Acoustic Guitar Only ]
Forty years later, I'm sitting in my chair drinking my coffee
In a home that's close by
It hurts to walk and it hurts to move, but I won't let it stop me
But then my little girl stops by
She Tells me About her Day, and She Always Ends it With a little smile
My little girl says to me, "Come on Dad, try and walk for a little while"
She says, "Walk with me, I'll make sure to hold onto your hands no matter how hard it gets"
"It's okay Dad, Little Big Steps steps."
(Little Big steps...) [ Fade To Silence ].
