Key of A 
(Intro) 
A F#m E D E D 
 

(Verse) 
 

A 
Three a.m. on the clock 
F#m 
Lullaby, music box 
E                     D 
Oh, baby please don't cry 
          E            D 
Let's let mama sleep tonight 
            A 
You've only been home one day 
          F#m 
You don't even know your name 
     E          D 
Tiny hand on my cheek 
         E          D 
You're a miracle to me 
       Bm 
In the stillness of the night 
        E 
Cradled in this rocking chair 
       Bm 
I hold all my hopes and dreams,  
      E 
Every single answered prayer  
 

      A 
In my arms 
             C#m 
Wish I could hold you forever 
      D7M 
In my arms 
Bm7             E 
I will give you shelter 
        A 
Still I know 
        Em7 
I can't always be there 
      D                  F#m7          B7 
To protect you from this great big old world 
      D 
But I swear this much is true 
                Bm7            E           A    E  D 
There'll always be a place for you...in my arms  
 
(Verse) 
A 
As I watch you take each breathe 
       F#m 
Oh, it scares me to death 
               E           D 
To know you're counting on me 
          E              D 
To be the daddy that you need 
        A 
Wounded knees, broken hearts 
         F#m 
Learning how to drive a car 
          E                  D 
When it's time for you first date 
       E                 D 
Will I know just what to say 
             Bm 
And when you find that one true love 
     E 
I'll put on my best smile 
         Bm 
And I'll try to hide my tears 
     E 
As I walk you down the aisle 
 
Repeat Chorus (Twice)  
         D 
Oh, this promise I will keep 
       E                            A     F#m  E  D  A 
As you finally fall alseep....in my arms
