Always Be My Child

 

Always Be My Child

 

C                      F                        C
I was there when you drew the breath of life  
          Em
And I heard your voice
               F                  G
The first time that you cried
          C 
And though you couln’t see me
   E7           F
I was very near
                    C
And there’s something now
                  G          C
That I want you to hear

Cho:
       C                          F                  C
      You will always be a child in my eyes
                              Em
      And when you need some love
            F                    G
      My arms are open wide
             C
      And even when you’re growing old
           E7              F
      I hope you realize
      (Am)      C                 G             C
      You will always be a child in my eyes

           C                    F                      C   
I was there the first time that you prayed
            Em                  F                     G
And I heard all the promises that you made
         C
And when you fell before me
      E7                         F
Crying father I have sinned
              C
I picked you up
               G              C
And held you close again.
