[C#] [B] [E]
Oh [A] yeah.
[D]
[B] [E]
[A] You [D] were a [E] tiny fart
[A] caught [D] in my
[E] parents' eyes.
[A] [D] When they made love [E] in the dark,
[A] [D] you were a [E] big surprise.
[F#] And the old man [F#m] came through, gave [C#] his [C#m] very best for you.
[D] And your mother's arms, they kept you warm [A] like no [E] other's arms can do.
When [A] you can't find the light at [D] the top of the stairs,
When [A] you cried in the night, well you knew they [E] were there.
Till [A] the light of day [D] was as bright as the sea,
[A] And [E] you knew in your heart you were living the rest of the [A] dream.
[D] I [B] [E]
[A] [D] had a dream [E] of you,
[A] but [D] I never
[E] realized
[A] That [D] baby the dream [E]
would prove,
[A] [D] until you opened [E] my eyes.
[F#] And I will come [F#m] through, [C#] give my very best [C#m] for you.
[D] And your loving arms will keep me warm like [A] no [E] other's arms will do.
When you [A] can't find the light [D] at the top of the stairs,
When you [E] cried in the night, well you knew I'd be there.
Till the [A] light of day [D] was as bright as the sea,
[A] And we knew in our hearts [E] we were living the rest [A] of the dream.
[D]
[E]
[A] [D]
[E]
[A] I [D] see a tiny [Em] spark
[A] caught in [D] your loving [E] eyes.
[A] As we make [D] love [E] in the dark, [A]
dream of [D] the big [E]
surprise.
[F#m] And the old man will come through, [C#m] son or daughter just for you.
And [D] your mama's arms will keep you warm like [A] no other's arms [E] can do.
When you [A] can't find the light [D] at the top of the stairs,
[E] When you cried in the night, well you knew we'd be there.
[A] Till the light of day is [D] as bright as the sea,
And [E] you know in your heart we're living the rest of [A] the dream.
When you can't find the light at [D] the top of the stairs,
When you [A] cried in the night, [E] well you knew we'd be there.
[A] Till the light of day [D] is as bright as the sea,
[A] And you know in our [E]
hearts we're living [A] the rest of the dream.
[D]
