AND THOUGH YOU COULDN’T SEE ME, I WAS VERY NEAR

AND THERE’S SOMETHING NOW THAT I WANT YOU TO HEAR

                                  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

                Em                   F

I HOPE YOU REALIZE
