Intro: Am G/B 4x
Am G/B
She gently falls asleep
Am G/B
Her head is laid upon my lap.
Bm C G/B
The highway sings a soothing lullaby.
Am G/B
My daughter here beside me
Am G/B
My little boy is in the backseat
Bm C G/B
Outlined by the headlights from behind.
Am G/B C
I ask the Lord to freeze us here in time
Am G/B C
As my son reaches out his hand to mine.
Chorus:
Bm C
Silhouettes sent from Heaven
G D
Paint a portrait of eternal things.
Bm C
A fleeting glimpse like a vapor
G D
Brings remembrance of what is holy.
Am D Em
Clean and pure, unblemished and unflawed
Am D
Oh, come to me sweet visions of God.
Am G/B 2x
Am G/B
I hear her whisper sweetly
Am G/B
"I made this for you, Daddy."
Bm C G/B
Her crayon masterpiece says, "I love you".
Am G/B
At last a bedtime story
Am G/B
They rush to get beneath the sheets
Bm C G
For Peter Pan, Pinocchio, and Pooh.
Am G/B C
They cling to every word until the end
Am G/B C
Then they close their eyes and drift to Neverland.
Chorus
Em D
So often I have missed Him
C G
Like a shadow in the night
Bm Em C
A familiar face I fail to recognize
Em D
But He is there in pigtails,
C G
Peek-a-boo and piggyback rides
Bm E C
A kiss, a gentle touch, a baby's cry.
Chorus
