Capo on 2
Like a bird without Awings
That longs to be Eflying,
Like a motherless Dchild
Left lonely and AcryiEng.
Like a song withouAt words,
Like a world withouDt music,
I wouldn’t know what to Ado
I’d be lost without Eyou
Watchin’ over Ame.
  AI get so lonely
  EWhen you’re away
  DI count every moment
  AI wait every Eday
  AUntil you’re home again
  DAnd hug me so tight
  AThat’s when I Eknow
Everything is aAlright.
Like a bird without Awings
That longs to be Eflying,
Like a motherless Dchild
Left lonely and AcryiEng.
Like a song withouAt words
Like a world withouDt music,
I wouldn’t know what to Ado
I’d be lost without Eyou
Watchin’ over Ame.
  AYou’re my guardian angel
  EMy light and my guide
  DYour hand on my shoulder
  AAnd you by my Eside.
  AYou make everything beautiful,
  DYou make me complete.
  AEverything in my Eworld
I lay at your Afeet.
Like a church with no Dsteeple,
Where a bell never Arings.
In a town without Epeople,
Where no voice in the choir ever Asings.
If a boat on the Docean
Would be lost with no Asail,
Then without your deEvotion
Surely all that I dreamed of would Afail.

Like a song withouAt words
Like a world withouDt music,

Watchin’ over Ame
DI wouldn’t know what to Ado
I’d be lost without Eyou
Watchin’ ovDer meA

Capo on 2

Like a bird without wings

That longs to be flying,

Like a motherless child

A E

Left lonely and crying.

Like a song without words,

Like a world without music,

I wouldn’t know what to do

I’d be lost without you

Watchin’ over me.

I get so lonely

When you’re away

I count every moment

A E

I wait every day

Until you’re home again

And hug me so tight

A E

That’s when I know

Everything is alright.

Like a bird without wings

That longs to be flying,

Like a motherless child

A E

Left lonely and crying.

Like a song without words

Like a world without music,

I wouldn’t know what to do

I’d be lost without you

Watchin’ over me.

You’re my guardian angel

My light and my guide

Your hand on my shoulder

A E

And you by my side.

You make everything beautiful,

You make me complete.

A E

Everything in my world

I lay at your feet.

Like a church with no steeple,

Where a bell never rings.

In a town without people,

Where no voice in the choir ever sings.

If a boat on the ocean

Would be lost with no sail,

Then without your devotion

Surely all that I dreamed of would fail.

A E

D A E

Like a song without words

Like a world without music,

I wouldn’t know what to do

I’d be lost without you

Watchin’ over me

D A

I wouldn’t know what to do

I’d be lost without you

D A

Watchin’ over me
