Every baby needs a mama, needs a papa

Close at hand

Every baby needs a mama, needs a papa

To hold their hand


[Verse 1]
  C
I look in the eyes
     Dm
Of a beautiful child
Em                     G
They tell me more than words
      C
If he reaches his hand
    F
And cries for something
Am                     G
Oh I'll give him all I have

Every baby needs a mama, needs a papa
              G 
To hold their hand


[Bridge]
   C           F
Birdies on the window
        Am            F
See the birdies on my window
           C      Dm
If I could fly oh baby
             C      F
Then I would fly oh yeah
  G
Believe me


[Verse 2]
    C 
I'm holding his hands
    Dm
And giving my love
Em                    G 
Through happiness and sorrow
    C
And in no time
      F
He'll be a big boy
Am                  G
Oh what a wonder of love


[Chorus]
      C            F             Dm
Every baby needs a mama, needs a papa

      C            F             Dm
Every baby needs a mama, needs a papa
              G 
To hold their hand
      C            F             Dm
Every baby needs a mama, needs a papa
         G
Close at hand
