G                            D
I want to hold you locked in my arms,
   C              G             D
Away from all the harms of this world.
   C                  Am         C      G
I want to light your life with a pure flame.
           G
And I know ya have t’ go,
       C               Am         G
But I hope you’ll come back sometimes, 
              D
T’ say hello.


   G                          D
I want t’ show you all my mistakes.
     C                  G          D
But that would take a lifetime or more.
         C           Am        C       G
You have your own to make and time is short.
           G                            
And I know ya must be gone,
          C                Am      G
But I hope you’ll think of me sometimes
               D
As still your own.


      G                             D
I’ll watch you walk away and I’ll smile.
           C        G           D
You’ll always be a child in my heart.
         C             Am      C    G
May God’s love go with you and keep you.


  G                                              
Love has touched me with its wing.
            C       Am        G
You’re the sweetest song, my son,
               D
That I could sing.
