[Intro/Chorus]
DDon't you know I wish I was Emcloser?
I'd be watching Cover,
and if you're too Dsmall to see
I'll lift you on my Emshoulders
If you're Gfeeling low, I'll Chold you
[Verse 1]
I wanna be there in the Emmorning,
So I'm Cworking through the nightG  
And I'll be smiling into Emyour name
When you're Crobbing those brown Geyes
And if you'll ever leave me, Emcall me
I wanna Cmake sure you're alGright
I don't wanBmna be so Amfar Bmfrom Chome
You know you're daddy little Emsoldier,
and your Cmother's handsome Gknight
No, don't you worry about Emdarkness
'Cause you're Ccarrying the Glight!
And those Bmshadows fall when Amyou're BmaroCund!
[Chorus]
DDon't you know I wish I was Emcloser?
I'd be watching Cover,
and if you're too Dsmall to see
I'll lift you on my Emshoulders
If you're Gfeeling low, I'll Chold you
[Verse 2]
I want you close to me like sun Embirds Con the Gtrees
'Cause when you're close to me my Emworries Cflee from Gme
'Cause when I'm with you my Bmfeet don't touch the Amground

For you I Gsing, for you I Bmsing
For you I AmsingBm  C
