Verse 1
       B              E                  B
I was there when you drew the breath of life
            B
And I could hear your voice
     E                    F#
The first time that you cried
      B
And though you couldn't see me
D#          E
I was very near
             B                   F#7           B
And there's something now that I want you to hear

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