    G                            D MajorD
I want to hold you locked in my arms,
   C              G             D MajorD
Away from all the harms of this world.
   C                A minorAm         C majorC      G+G
I want to light your life with a pure flame.
           G
And I know ya have t’ go,
       C             Am        G+G
But I hope you’ll come back sometimes, 
              D
T’ say hello.

   G                          D MajorD
I want t’ show you all my mistakes.
     C                  G+G         D MajorD
But that would take a lifetime or more.
         C           Am        C majorC       G+G
You have your own to make and time is short.
           G                            
And I know ya must be gone,
          C                A minorAm      G+G
But I hope you’ll think of me sometimes
               D
As still your own.


      G                             D MajorD
I’ll watch you walk away and I’ll smile.
           C        G           D MajorD
You’ll always be a child in my heart.
         C             A minorAm      C    G+G
May God’s love go with you and keep you.


  G                                              
Love has touched me with its wing.
            C       Am       G+G
You’re the sweetest song, my son,
               D
That I could sing.
