I was there when you drew the breath of life
And I could hear your voice
The first time that you cried
And though you couldn't see me
I was very near
And there's something now
That I want you to hear
You will always be a child in my eyes
And when you need some love
My arms are open wide
And even when you're growing old
I hope you realize
You will always be a child in my eyes
[interlude]
I was there the first time
that you prayed
And I heard all the promises you made
And when you fell before me
Crying "Father, I have sinned"
I picked you up
And held you close again
You will always be a child in my eyes
and when you need some love
My arms are open wide
And even when you're growing old
I hope you realize
You will always be a child in my eyes
You will always be a child in my eyes
And when you need some love
My arms are open wide
And even when you're growing old
I hope you realize
You will always be a child in my eyes
You will always be a child in my eyes
