## Lyrics

**Verse**

Down on the blanket, nose to the sky  
You lift your head up, oh how you try  
Just for a moment, then down you go  
Little and often, that's how you grow  


**Chorus**

Little and often, that's all it takes  
A minute of trying, a minute of breaks  
I'm here on the floor, love, right by your side  
Little and often, and look how you rise  


**Verse**

Strong little neck and two pushing arms  
The whole world waiting past my open palms  
No rush, no hurry, no chart to keep  
Little and often, then off to sleep  


**Chorus**

Little and often, that's all it takes  
A minute of trying, a minute of breaks  
I'm here on the floor, love, right by your side  
Little and often, and look how you rise  


**Bridge**

And if you fuss, well that's alright  
We'll try again in the morning light  


**Outro**

Little and often  
That's how you grow
