[Verso 1]

C                       G 
I remember the day you were born, like yesterday, 
Am                   F 
Your tiny fingers wrapped around my thumb that way. 
C                  G 
I promised you then, I’d never let you go, 
Am                        F 
But life had other plans that I couldn’t know. 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
Am                      G 
I missed your first steps, missed your first words, 
C                      F 
Every little moment that I should’ve heard. 
Am                    G 
I know I’m far, but my love is near, 
F                           G 
Counting down the days until I’m here. 


[Refrão]
 
Am                     F 
A year has passed since I held you tight, 
C                        G 
52 weeks of endless night. 
Am                     F 
365 days I’ve been so alone, 
C                        G 
Longing to bring my baby home. 
Am                     F 
8760 hours of missing your smile, 
C                        G 
525600 minutes that feel like miles. 
Am                     F 
No matter the time, no matter the world, 
C                        G 
You will always be my baby girl. 


[Verso 2]

C                         G 
I think of you laughing, I picture your face, 
Am                       F 
I keep your photos in my favorite place. 
C                      G 
Through all the miles and time in between, 
Am                    F 
You’re the brightest light in every dream. 


[Pré-Refrão]

Am                      G 
I’ve missed birthdays, bedtime stories too, 
C                      F 
But not a day goes by I’m not missing you. 
Am                    G 
I’m counting down till we’re back where we belong, 
F                        G 
You and me, my love, right where we’re strong.

[Ponte]

Am                        C 
The seasons change, but my love stays true, 
G                         F 
Though I’m far away, I’m still singing for you. 
Am                    C 
Through every high and every low, 
F                   G 
I’m with you, more than you’ll ever know.

Outro: 
Am                       C 
So here’s to the day we’ll meet again, 
G                        F 
And I’ll hold you close, my little friend. 
Am                        C 
I’ll tell you stories, I’ll sing you to sleep, 
F                   C 
You’ll be in my arms, finally to keep.
