Honey Hannah.

Your little hand's wrapped around my finger,
And it's so quiet in the world tonight.
Your eyelids flutter,
I wonder what you're dreaming
In your tiny baby mind.

I can see dimples in your cheeks,
And under your lips.
In your elbows and on your knees.
There are little dimples for each little knuckle on each little fist.

Honey Hannah,
To you everything's funny,
Honey Hannah,
To you everything's going your way.
Honey Hannah,
To you everything's lovely,
Honey Hannah,
To you everything revolves around you.

Honey Hannah,
Don't you cry,
Even though I'm gonna cry when you say goodbye,
Your cousin's going to miss you so much.

Honey Hannah,
Don't you weep,
Even though I'm gonna miss how cute you look when you sleep,
Your jie is going to miss you so much.

Honey Hannah,
I don't want you to grow up,
Stay this little forevermore.
Honey Hannah,
I don't want you to lose this,
Your sweet firefly days.

Honey Hannah,
I don't want to see you cry,
I don't want a boy to break your heart.
I was once like you,
But I don't want you to become like me,
Honey Hannah,
Stay like this for me.

Honey Hannah,
I don't want to lose this,
I don't want you to lose your little double chin.
I don't want you to lose your baby tummy,
Or your baby smile.
Your cousin's known pain,
You don't want to know pain,
Honey Hannah,
Hold on to what you've got.

I don't want to watch your innocence robbed from you,
I don't want to watch your heart break,
I don't want to watch you cry yourself to sleep over a boy who doesn't deserve you.
I don't want you to watch as you change when you don't wanna change,
I don't want you to have to do things you don't wanna do,
Honey Hannah,
Ignorance isn't bliss,
But innocence is.

Honey Hannah,
My honey Hannah,
Don't you ever grow up.
Honey Hannah,
My honey Hannah...
Good luck.
