Written long Ebefore me
Because He Aloves you like Ethis

So AI will carry Dyou
While your F#mheart Ebeats Ahere
Long beyond the Dempty cradle
EThrough the coming years
AI will carry Dyou
F#mAll Emy Dlife
And F#mI will praise the EOne Who's chosen Dme
To Ecarry Ayou

Such a short Dtime
Such a long Aroad
All this Emadness
But I Dknow
That the silence
Has Abrought me to His Evoice
And He says

F#mWalked her Bthrough the parted Eseas
DAngel lullabies, F#mno more teary eyes

While your F#mheart Ebeats Ahere
ALong beyond the Dempty cradle
EThrough the coming years

F#mAll Eyour Dlife
F#mAnd I will praise the EOne Who's chosen DMe
To Ecarry AyouD
