Verse 1
       Bb              Eb                  Bb
I was there when you drew the breath of life
            Bb
And I could hear your voice
     Eb                    F
The first time that you cried
      Bb
And though you couldn't see me
D          Eb
I was very near
             Bb                   F7           Bb
And there's something now that I want you to hear

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