My Special Child chords
 C    F4x  *
I Cthink about my little girl
Her yellow skin and her dark curls
And how her father's heart was Ffrozen
CI spoke to her and I said:
"You won't regret the mother you have Fchosen"
I Clied. FWhere s she toCnight?
CI left him now we're apart
And I think about his cruel heart
And how his lies have left mine Fbroken
To Cthink that I spoke to him then I said:
"She won't regret the father she has Fchosen"
I Clied. FWhere's he toCnight?
You were precious to me
After all I called you into being
I wanted you to know that
Yes, you were precious to me
she has chosen
CAnd I miss my little boy
I strayed away, so far away
And FI need him toCnight
To feel his hands around my face
His loving eyes
His happy face
Would Fbe so Cright
COnce I sat in my husband's car
Him in my arms, woke up and saw me Fcrying
My heart wouldn't Cwork
And this he did my special child
He touched my face with his hand and Fsmiled
Oh boy, everything's all Cright
Don't Fcry, everything's all Cright
Don't Fcry, Jakes's here toCnight
Don't Fhide, Jake's here aClive

I think about my little girl

Her yellow skin and her dark curls

And how her father's heart was frozen

I spoke to her and I said:

"You won't regret the mother you have chosen"

C F C

I lied. Where s she tonight?

I left him now we're apart

And I think about his cruel heart

And how his lies have left mine broken

To think that I spoke to him then I said:

"She won't regret the father she has chosen"

C F C

I lied. Where's he tonight?

You were precious to me

After all I called you into being

I wanted you to know that

Yes, you were precious to me

she has chosen

And I miss my little boy

I strayed away, so far away

F C

And I need him tonight

To feel his hands around my face

His loving eyes

His happy face

F C

Would be so right

Once I sat in my husband's car

Him in my arms, woke up and saw me crying

My heart wouldn't work

And this he did my special child

He touched my face with his hand and smiled

Oh boy, everything's all right

F C

Don't cry, everything's all right

F C

Don't cry, Jakes's here tonight

F C

Don't hide, Jake's here alive
