Verse 1
Morning light on tiny steps,
Soft taps echo down the hall,
Every breath a borrowed miracle,
Every heartbeat says it all.
Small bodies, brave and fragile,
Eyes that trust without a sound,
The world feels safer, warmer
When those little paws are around.
Pre-Chorus
Days move fast, nights feel thin,
Trying not to count the years,
Laughing loud, loving harder,
Hiding fear inside the tears.
Chorus
Little paws, stay a little longer,
Stay like time was never real,
Let this love outlive the seasons,
Let forever almost feel.
If the clock is always stealing,
Take the years but leave today,
Little paws, my whole heart’s begging—
Please don’t fade away.
Verse 2
Each scratch at the door is a promise,
Each curl beside the bed a vow,
Teaching how to love without asking,
Teaching how to live right now.
No grand plans, no tomorrows,
Just this moment, just this breath,
You don’t know how much you save me
From the silence I forget.
Pre-Chorus
I pretend that time is kind,
That love can bend the end,
But every goodbye I can’t imagine
Still waits around the bend.
Chorus
Little paws, stay a little longer,
Stay until the stars give in,
Let these days repeat forever,
Let this joy never thin.
If the world insists on endings,
Let it wait, let it delay,
Little paws, my soul is pleading—
Please don’t fade away.
Bridge
If one day I have to let go,
Know you taught me how to be strong,
How a life can be so small
And still feel endlessly long.
You are not just passing moments,
You are home, you are my truth,
Every love I learn from here on
Starts with you.
Final Chorus
Little paws, even when you wander
Where my hands can’t reach or hold,
Every step you ever left here
Lives inside my soul.
Time may win, but love remembers,
Every game, every stay,
Little paws, my forever children—
You never go away.
Outro
So I’ll love you louder than the clock,
Deeper than goodbye,
Little paws…
Forever in my life.
