         Cadd11    C
When you have a child

    Cadd11                C   
You learn it's a serious business

          Am     D/A    Am     D/A
To have a little fun

         Gadd11         G
You give grace and get forgiveness

Gadd11 Not seven times seven

    G                   Cadd11  C  Cadd11   C
But seven times seventy-one

And when you have a child Those four walls you call a house Take on a life of it's own When you bring 'em home You will cry and you will laugh When they hurt it cuts you in half

                               Gadd11     G
It's your flesh and bone

    Em         Am
And year after year

         Em              Am
Pictures fill page after page

     Em           Am
They never really grow up

           Em          Am
Still your baby at any age

    Dm   
The first time you hold 'em

     C
It's like you see God's smile

       F         Gadd11   G
What a smile

         Cadd11    C
When you have a child

And then boy meets girl And perfume and gasoline Rain on your perfect world Curfews are often broken Thank you’ s aren't spoken

             Dm
He's got the keys to that old Dodge

          C
And she's wearing a corsage 

       F               Gadd11   G
And her mama's pearls

And year after year Pictures fill page after page They never really grow up Still your baby at any age And the first time you hold 'em It's like you feel God's smile What a smile

         Cadd11    C
When you have a child

Am Bb You pray that phone call never comes Dm And if God forbid C/E How would you live F G How could you go on G#dim Am F And on and on and on And year after year Close the chapter and turn the page Blue ribbons and losing seasons Flipping tassles on the stage Oh but you don't need a photograph You've got at least a million Pictures of that smile When you close your eyes When you love a child Ohh when you love a child
