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



Chorus

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



And 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.



Chorus 

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



Chorus

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.
