Intro: I was there when you drew the breath of life And I could hear your voice The first time that you cried And though you couldn't see me I was very near And there's something now That I want you to hear You will always be a child in my eyes And when you need some love My arms are open wide And even when you're growing old I hope you realize You will always be a child in my eyes And I was there the first time that you prayed And I heard all the promises you A made And when you fell before me Crying father I have sinned I picked you up And held you close again. You will always be a child in my eyes And when you need some love My arms are open wide And even when you're growing old I hope you realize You will always be a child in my eyes
