Verse 1
       Db              Gb                  Db
I was there when you drew the breath of life
            Db
And I could hear your voice
     Gb                    Ab
The first time that you cried
      Db
And though you couldn't see me
F          Gb
I was very near
             Db                   Ab7           Db
And there's something now that I want you to hear

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