My Little Innocent One
(Words & music by Salim Nourallah)

my little innocent one
    you've just begun
and I'm almost done
    don't you be in a rush to be grown up
it's not that much fun

won't you savor each fine day while you are still young?
    'cause one day you will look back and they will be done

kids these days grow up so fast
    they're smoking grass in sunday school
parents are working like rats
    just to get past
to make the ends meet

won't you cherish each fine day while you are still young?
    just be happy now and play in the summer...

run like a rabbit,
    avoid the bad habit of sadness
skip lots of pebbles,
    shoot lots of marbles my little one
life is always the best when you're young

my little innocent one...
    you've just begun
and I'm almost done
    don't you be in a rush to be grown up
it's not that much fun

won't you savor each fine day while you are still young?
    'cause one day you will look back and they will be done
yeah, one day you will look back...
    my innocent one
