If you want to try and step into another kind of shoe I’ll be right behind
C              C    C/B    Am       Am     Am/G    F          Fm
  And he might be a little bit like me but more of you well I hope that as he grew
C                   C     C/B       Am     Am    Am/G     F        Fm
  What if she would maybe look like you so beautiful that I’d have two
C                  C      C/B      Am             Am     Am/G    F        Fm
  Well they’d grow slower than the wind blows but faster as each day goes by

[Chorus]
Dm                               E                                 Am      Am/G         D
  And when they're old enough to run they'll walk away one day and I would have you back
Dm                              E                                          Am     Am/G         D
  Until then I can share - I’ll wait for when there's time to spare but it always goes too fast
F                                    Fm
You should be the first to know that all I need is you and you alone

Well I guess that probably if I knew then I'd finally understand when because “I told you so” became a
C          C       C/B   Am          Am      Am/G        F            Fm
reason. To know is too imposing, and life is what’s been chosen - but not by you and me
C                  C          C/B      Am        Am      Am/G F         Fm
  And so then - we watch them come and go and as quietly they grow into someone just like you
C                 C     C/B  Am     Am   Am/G       F       Fm
  And I know that I can only say so many times that I won't ever let you down
        C
until I show you

  And when they're old enough to run they'll walk away one day and I would have you back

  Until then I can share - I’ll wait for when there's time to spare but it always goes too fast

  And every time they run past me and straight to you I understand cause I would too
    F                                    Fm
But you should be the first to know that all I need is you and you alone
