G?????????????????????? D/F#??????????? C
We thought you?d be here by now
D
Your mother and I
G????????????????????????????? D/F#????????????? C
We?re praying through our tears that somehow
D
We might hear your sweet cry
Em???????????????????????? C
Have we waited too long
G???????????????????????????????? D/F#????? E
It?s getting harder to be strong
C?????????????????????????????????????????? D
Is there something we?ve done wrong


G??????? D???????? C
But if you like dancing
??????? D????????????????? G???????????? D????????????? C?????????? D
I'll make it rain rhythm, and rhyme, and melodies, child
G??????? D???????? C
And if you like dreaming
??????? D????????????????? G???????????? D????????????? C?????????? D
Your mother will make your imagination run wild
Em???? C??????????????????????????????? G??????????? D/F#
Somehow, we thought you?d be here by now


We have a room just for you upstairsIt?s right down the hall
So we?ll be close should you ever get scared
We?ll come when you call
It?s a room full of stories
Waiting to be told
Longing to behold


And if you like laughing
I?ll paint you a circus of smiles and ferris wheels, dear
And if you like living
Your mother will fly you to worlds both far and near


Somehow?


I never knew the silence could make me so deaf
I never knew that I could miss someone I?ve never met
Miss someone I haven?t met yet


We?ll be waiting
