(Verse) 
 

A5 
Three a.m. on the clock 
F#5 
Lullaby, music box 
E5                     D5 
Oh, baby please don't cry 
          E5            D5 
Let's let mama sleep tonight 
            A5 
You've only been home one day 
          F#5 
You don't even know your name 
     E5          D5 
Tiny hand on my cheek 
         E5          D5 
You're a miracle to me 
       B5 
In the stillness of the night 
        E5 
Cradled in this rocking chair 
       B5 
I hold all my hopes and dreams,  
      E5 
Every single answered prayer  
 

      A5 
In my arms 
             C#5 
Wish I could hold you forever 
      D5 
In my arms 
B5             E5 
I will give you shelter 
        A5 
Still I know 
        E5 
I can't always be there 
      D5                  F#5          B5 
To protect you from this great big old world 
      D5 
But I swear this much is true 
                B5            E5           A5    E5  D5 
There'll always be a place for you...in my arms  
 
(Verse) 
A5 
As I watch you take each breathe 
       F#5 
Oh, it scares me to death 
               E5           D5 
To know you're counting on me 
          E5              D5 
To be the daddy that you need 
        A5 
Wounded knees, broken hearts 
         F#5 
Learning how to drive a car 
          E5                  D5 
When it's time for you first date 
       E5                 D5 
Will I know just what to say 
             B5 
And when you find that one true love 
     E5 
I'll put on my best smile 
         B5 
And I'll try to hide my tears 
     E5 
As I walk you down the aisle 
 
Repeat Chorus (Twice)  
         D5 
Oh, this promise I will keep 
       E5                            A5     F#5  E5  D5  A5 
As you finally fall alseep....in my arms
