Verse 1
       Gb              B                  Gb
I was there when you drew the breath of life
            Gb
And I could hear your voice
     B                    Db
The first time that you cried
      Gb
And though you couldn't see me
Bb          B
I was very near
             Gb                   Db7           Gb
And there's something now that I want you to hear

Chorus
          Gb           B           Gb
You will always be a child in my eyes
              Gb
And when you need some love
    B             Db
My arms are open wide
     Gb
And even when you're growing old
   Bb          B
I hope you realize
           Gb           Db          Gb
You will always be a child in my eyes

Verse 2
And I was there the first time that you prayed
And I heard all the promises you made
And when you fell before me
Crying father I have sinned
I picked you up and held you close again
