Song For a Child

[Verse]
C G C
Who's that little face in the mirror
F C
With eyes so big and wide and shining blue
C G C
And with a little smile to see you clearer
D G
I see all the pretty things in you
F F/E Dm
I am here to answer all your questions
F G
You'll question every answer that you see
C G C
But I will tell you without hesitation
D G
When you ask what you'll grow up to be
[Chorus]
F C
Little girls grow up to be their mommas
G C
That makes daddies love them even more
F C
But today you've got to make a promise
G C
You'll be momma's child forevermore
[Verse]
C G C
Look up to the sky before your dreaming
F C
Before the moon kisses you goodnight
C G C
Gaze up to the stars so brightly gleaming
D G
Pick out one to be your guiding light
F F/E Dm
'Cause when you have a light that shines beside you
F G
You know you will never be alone
C G C
I'll be here awhile so I can guide you
D
When you ask what you will be when
G
You are all full grown
[Chorus 2]
F C
Little boys grow up to be their daddies
G C
That makes mamas love them even more
F C
And even though the world may treat you badly
G C
You'll be daddy's child forevermore
[Outro]
G C
You'll remain a child forevermore
