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.
