Tomorrow morning if you     wake up and the sun   does not appear

I,         I will be here

I will be here     when you feel  like being quiet
G         D/F#               G    D/F#        Em
When you need to speak your mind, I     will listen
    F#         Bm   A             E/G#              A    G
And I will be here     when the laughter turns to crying

Through the winning, losing and trying, we’ll be together

‘Cause I will be here

D                    A/C#                   Bm     A    G    D/F#
Tomorrow morning, if you  wake up, and the future is unclear
Em   Asus - A            D  Dmaj7   G/D
I,            I will be here

When the mirror tells us we’re older, I     will hold you
    F#          Bm  A      E/G#              A
And I  will be here    to watch you grow in beauty
G             D/F#                     G            
And tell you all   the things you mean to me
