[Verse 3]
C                         F      
   When I feel your small body 
       G
close to mine
C                         F      
   I feel weak and strong at the 
     G
same time
C                           F    
   So few years to give you wings
    G
 to fly

   Show you the stars to guide 
        G
your ship by
