[G] [Am] [C]
Timmy was born in the midst of December, [Em] and he was [Ab] our new baby boy that we so [G] dearly loved.
[Em] [G] And we were so happy for him, [F] and so happy with him.
[C] And so we got on our knees, and we thanked God above.
Well, the days passed [Am] for weeks, [F] and the weeks turned into a year.
And then we found [C] that Timmy couldn't walk, and we were so hurt at first.
[D] So we just [G] loved him much harder, and we couldn't wait [C] for him to begin to talk.
Well, soon he said his first words, and soon he [G] was talking from [Em] morning until late at night.
[G] And then soon he was six, and soon he was seven.
[F] And then [C] we had another horrible fright.
You see, Timmy got sick, and so we called for the [F] doctor.
And they found the cancer inside, [Dm] [C] and they said there wasn't much time.
[Dm] And all we could do was just to make [G] him happy, [C] because he was going to die.
[Am] [Bm] [C] Well, he would sit by that window and watch the neighbor's kids running and playing outside.
And he used to ask me some [G] questions about why he was feeling so bad.
[G]
But [F] you know, he never [C] did cry.
I remember one day he told me he wished he could [D] run like [F] all the other kids when they would play.
And then he turned back to staring [C] and dreaming of something a million miles away.
[G]
[C] [Em] And finally each day he got [F] sicker, and each day he got weaker and thinner.
And I was holding [C] him by the window that day.
His eyes were so weak, [D] and he couldn't even [G] speak.
But [C] he smiled as he ran out to play.
