D      G   Bm        A 
Oh child, precious one 
D           G            Bm     A          
Let your life shine like the sun 
        D                      A 
But you say "How long 'til I can come home 
          Bm                       A 
'Til I can rest in your arms again" 
        D                         A                     Bm 
And I say "Not long but don't miss this life and I'll be 
                  A 
Waiting 'til then" 
            G                 D 
Live with the wonder of a child 
                 G                   D 
Pray with your arms thrown open wide 
             G                   D 
Love with a love that has no end 
        G             D 
Until I see you again 
      D   G       Bm     A 
Oh child, precious one 
       D  G            Bm           A 
With each breath know you are loved 
           D                    A         
But you say "How long 'til I can come home 
          Bm                       A 
'Til I can rest in your arms again" 
         D                   A                           Bm 
And I say "Not long but don't miss this life and I'll be 
                  A 
Waiting 'til then"
