I'll watch you begin my [D] child, see you fading in [A] my father's face.
[E] For the first time I'm in the [D] mirror looking [A] both ways.
[C#m] And where I've [F#m] been and where I'm headed, [Bm]
it makes [C#m] me want to live each day like I may not get [E] it.
[A] Dear life, from my very first [E] breath you were one [C#m] step [D] ahead of where I thought I [E] was going.
Dear [A] life, when I loved and I [E] lost, somehow at all [D] costs, you kept [E] me holding on.
For dear [F#m] life, through the healing and the scars, [A] through all you've showed me so [D] far,
I see how [G] precious you are.
Dear [A] life, I [E] was bound to give away my heart [D]
and have it handed back [A] to me
[E] until you led me to the one [D] that was always meant [A] to be.
I'd have never [F#m] known joy if I never knew [Bm] sorrow when [A] I didn't know how to [E] face tomorrow.
