Verse 1
       D              G                  D
I was there when you drew the breath of life
            D
And I could hear your voice
     G                    A
The first time that you cried
      D
And though you couldn't see me
F#          G
I was very near
             D                   A7           D
And there's something now that I want you to hear

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