Verse 1
       C              F                  C
I was there when you drew the breath of life
            C
And I could hear your voice
     F                    G
The first time that you cried
      C
And though you couldn't see me
E          F
I was very near
             C                   G7           C
And there's something now that I want you to hear

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