          E                     A
The nurse helped us buckle your seat in the car

         E                     F#            B
And they sent us on our way, I drove home so slow

   E                        A
We had no instructions, the first days were hard

            E                     B          E       E riff
But there's things about babies a woman just knows - -

At three in the mornin' I'd lay my hand over

     E                           F#           B
Your heart just to know you were safe in your sleep

     E                       A
When you started walkin' I'd fight back the urge to stay

E                              B           E    E7
Right there beside you 'n keep you on your feet -

But bein' your daddy comes natural

    A                      E
The roses just know how to grow

     A                       E                A
It's easy to see that you'll get where you're goin'

It didn't take long to see you got the best of me

    E                     F#            B
And your momma's merciful heart in your eyes

    E                         A
An' helpin' her raise you has taught me to see through

    E                            B          E     E7
The great fog of loneliness, the devil's disguise -

And now you've decided to be someone's wife

And we'll walk down the aisle and I'll give you away

  E                          A
I wish I could walk with them back through your life

       E                    B          E   E Riff
To see every last minute of every last day -

   E                            A
To hear your first words and to feel your first heartbreak

   E                             F#            B
To sing you to sleep when you're scared of the dark

The best I can do is to let myself trust that you

E                               B          E     E7
Know who'll be strong enough to carry your heart -

The hard part is letting you go
