Verse 1
You wake before the morning sun creeps in Tiny fingers trace the battles I have won The coffee cools, the headlines fade to gray In your eyes the noise all melts away Your laugh bubbles up like water from a spring It pulls me from the spinning of the wheel You don't know the weight the mornings bring But your smile makes the heavy start to yield
Chorus
Tiny hands hold my whole heart Tiny hands make the simple things art In your eyes I see a brand new start Tiny hands, you are my light in the dark
Verse 2
First smile breaks across your face like dawn Wobbly legs on the kitchen floor so new I catch you before the fall can teach you fear But I know one day you'll walk on through You teach me to see the magic in the rain In a spoon that clinks, in a song half sung The ordinary turns to something golden When you look at me like I've already won You don't know the headlines or the bills that stack You don't know the ache of growing old But your hand in mine makes the present enough Your wonder makes the heavy feel like gold
Chorus
Tiny hands hold my whole heart Tiny hands make the simple things art In your eyes I see a brand new start Tiny hands, you are my light in the dark
Bridge
There will be days the sky feels heavy and wide There will be nights that stretch too long to win But your hand in mine reminds me every time We are right where we belong, you and I
Chorus
Tiny hands hold my whole heart Tiny hands make the simple things art In your eyes I see a brand new start Tiny hands, you are my light in the dark
Outro
Tiny hands, you are my light in the dark
Inside the recording
You wake before the morning sun creeps in Tiny fingers trace the battles I have won
Tiny hands hold my whole heart Tiny hands make the simple things art
Tiny hands hold my whole heart Tiny hands make the simple things art
