G                     C                 G
I was there when you drew the breath of life
G           Em
And I could hear your voice
C                       D
The first time that you cried
G
And though you couldn't see me
Em         C
I was very near
G
And there's something now
D                  G
That I want you to hear

Chorus
G                     C           G
You will always be a child in my eyes 
G
And when you need some love
  C               D
My arms are open wide
G
And even when you're growing old 
Em           C
I hope you realize
G                     D           G
You will always be a child in my eyes

G                    C                   G
And I was there the first time that you prayed
G                    C            D
And I heard all the promises you made
G
And when you fell before me
Em                    C
Crying father I have sinned
G 
I picked you up
    D               G
And held you close again.
