A Fmomma watched her baby
DmFall and bump his head
GmTakin' baby Csteps across the Ffloor
She could've tried to catch him
But a Dmvoice inside her said
In the Gmlong run, it will Conly hurt him Fmore
But, she Gmpicked me up and told me that she Cloved me
And she Bbheld me and she made me feel sec Cure
I Gmgrew to understand what real Clove means
And Bbwhat it takes for two hearts to en Cdure
Roots and Bbwings
To my Gmship you are the Clighthouse on the Fshore
And I'm kite F/Aon your str Bbing
GmYour love is my Canchor in the Fstorm
And a Bbpart of me stays grounded
So the Dmrest of me can GsusflyG  
Only cause Bbyou are my
CRoots and Fwings
F Dm Bb C F
A Fdaddy kissed his baby
DmThen he fixed her veil
GmTook her arm and Cwalked her down the Faisle
When the preacher asked him
"Who Dmgives this child away"
GmHe said "me" and Cdid his best to sm File
Now you Gmcall him every weekend and you Ctell him
That you Bblove him and your thankful as can Cbe
That his Gmfirm hand as his soft heart were a bl Cessing
And the Bbreason you can give the gift to Cme
