(Verse)
A
Three a.m. on the clock
F#m
Lullaby, music box
E D
Oh, baby please don't cry
E D
Let's let mama sleep tonight
A
You've only been home one day
F#m
You don't even know your name
E D
Tiny hand on my cheek
E D
You're a miracle to me
Bm
In the stillness of the night
E
Cradled in this rocking chair
Bm
I hold all my hopes and dreams,
E
Every single answered prayer
A
In my arms
C#m
Wish I could hold you forever

In my arms

To protect you from this great big old world

But I swear this much is true

There'll always be a place for you...in my arms
(Verse)

As I watch you take each breathe
F#m
Oh, it scares me to death
E D
To know you're counting on me
E D
To be the daddy that you need
A
Wounded knees, broken hearts
F#m
Learning how to drive a car
E D
When it's time for you first date
E D
Will I know just what to say
Bm
And when you find that one true love
E
I'll put on my best smile
Bm
And I'll try to hide my tears
E
As I walk you down the aisle
Repeat Chorus (Twice)

Oh, this promise I will keep

As you finally fall alseep....in my arms
