I swear sometimes I miss you

     A           D
Like I'm already gone

Your little laugh, the sunset on your face

A good ways 'til goodbye

There's things I need to tell you just in case

May your life be long

I thought that I was living

Until you came along

Now all of you are all a part of me

      D                  G
Every breath you take, a blessing

Every smile a gift to me

Every day with you is twice as sweet

        D            G
Someday you may need forgive me

        A                     D
For the things that I've done wrong

        D                G                  A
You can blame me for the things I've handed down

      D              G
But I beg you see my brokenness

   A                 D
Is how the light got in

Em             D                A
Amazing grace, oh how sweet the sound
[Chorus]
         D       G
May your life be long

     A           D
Your friendships deep

         D        G        A
May your heart be kind and true

  D        G        F#m      Bm
I pray you know the peace of God

        G      A      D
And how dearly I love you
