[Verse]
C C C/B Am Am Am/G F Fm
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
C
[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

C C C/B Am Am Am/G F Fm
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
[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
Dm E Am Am/G D
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
