Dear Theodosia, [C#m] what to say to you?.
[F#m].
You have my [D] eyes, you have your mother's [A] name.
When you came into the world, [C#m] you cried and it broke [F#m].
my heart.
[D] [A] .
I'm dedicating [C#m] every day to [F#m] you.
Domestic life [D] was never quite my [A] style.
When you smiled, [C#m] you knocked me out, I [F#m] fell apart, and I thought I [D] was so smart.
[A] You will come of age with our [C#m] young nation.
We'll [F#m] bleed and fight for you.
We'll [D] make it right for you.
[E] [A] If we lay a strong enough [C#m] foundation, we'll [F#m] pass it on to you.
We'll [D] give the world to you and you'll [E] blow us [A] all away.
[C#m] Someday, [E] [F#m] .

[C#m] Pride is not the word I'm [F#m] looking for.
There is so [A] much more [E] inside me [A] now.
Oh, [C#m] Philip, you outshine the [F#m] morning sun.
[F#] My son, [E] [A] when you smile, [C#m] I fall [F#m].
apart, and I thought I was [A] so smart.
