Little one it’s so nice to have you near me
To feel once again the love you bring here
Ooh my little one, I am sorry for the pain you’ve felt
Say the word and daddy will make it disappear.
Oh my little one
Bring your love here
Little one
I need you near
Little one
Don’t live in fear of the future
‘Cause I will always be there.
Oh my little one
Music is my life, I hope you understand
Traveling on the road with me you can see the way we live
Oh my little one
I will always cherish these days with you
As time goes by I hope you see the love I tried to give.
Oh my little one
Let your love flow
My little one
Like a flower you’ll grow
Someday you’ll have your own little one
And you will always be there.
Little one, it’s so nice to have you near me
To feel once again the love you bring here
Ooh my little one, I am sorry for the pain you’ve felt
Say the word and daddy will make it disappear.
Oh my little one
Bring your love here
Little one
I need you near me
Little one
Don’t live in fear of the future
‘Cause I will always be there.
Oh my little one
Let your love flow
My little one
Like a flower you’ll grow
Someday you’ll have your own little one
And you will always be there.
My little one…

About Lyrics and Little One by Chicago

When you decide to study the lyrics to Little One, you're looking at the words, verses and background chorus from the 1977 song by Chicago. Some of the lyrics to Little One have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Chicago and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to Little One if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Little One" means the words set to the music of Little One, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Chicago. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Little One and the lyrics to Little One are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Chicago who came here looking just for the lyrics to Little One, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
