Verse 1
       F              A#                  F
I was there when you drew the breath of life
            F
And I could hear your voice
     A#                    C
The first time that you cried
      F
And though you couldn't see me
A          A#
I was very near
             F                   C7           F
And there's something now that I want you to hear

Chorus
          F           A#           F
You will always be a child in my eyes
              F
And when you need some love
    A#             C
My arms are open wide
     F
And even when you're growing old
   A          A#
I hope you realize
           F           C          F
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
