        F            G
It's in living every moment

Like it could be our last
        F            G
For our hearts are restless till
      Am             C/E
They rest in Love?s caress
        F            G
And the moments we remember

They interweave our hearts

Like a tapestry surrounding us, that we forget to touch

Pre-Chorus

It's why we wake up every morning

It's why we seek each other's smile
            F                   G
It's why we know that it?s all worth it
            Dm
It's why we hold on we make the sacrifice

Chorus
            F           G
It's in the eyes of a child

As you hold her in your arms
          F               G           Am    C
And your heart starts to beat once again

In the freshness of her song

It's in the hope of the poor man
         Am                   C/E
As he struggles to make ends meet
              F                G               Am           C
It's in the laughter of his children as they play in the street
       F              G         Am             C/E
Don't need a million dollars to raise a happy child
     F                G                 Am                C
Just need a pair of loving arms and the time to make her smile

As you finally make amends
          F                G           Am    C
And your soul starts to breathe once again
          F             G
And the weight of the world
C                    Am
Falls away with one word
