Intro:   [C]   [D]   [G]
 GDo you remember when I was a  Cbaby
Did I  Gcry, did I  Dcry
I  Conly reDmember the  Gdays I was  Claughing
When  Gyou sang me sweet lullaDbies
When you sang me sweet bye and  Gbye 
 GSometimes I wonder if you were an  Cangel
Would you  Gfly, would you  Dfly
Or  Cwould you just  Dhover right  Ghere by my  Cside
 GKeeping me warm and  Ddry
Keeping me safe by your  Gside
 EmMother  CMother won't  Gfall from  Dgrace
 EmLight a  Croom with the  Glines on your  Dface
And if  Gyou were a  Criver run  Gdry  D  
Well  CI'd sing you  Dsweet bye and  Gbye
 GAll of the birds that land on my  Cwindow
Sing your  Gname, sing your  Dname
When  Call of the  Dtime I am  Gcrying a  Cgain
About  Ghow much the sky likes to  Drain
When I should be singing your  Gname
 EmMother  CMother won't  Gfall from  Dgrace
 EmLight a  Croom with the  Glines on your  Dface
And if  Gyou were a  Criver run  Gdry  D  
Well  CI'd sing you  Dsweet bye and  Gbye 
[C][D][G][C] . . . [C][D][G] 
And  Emall of the  Cflowers by the  Gside of the  Droad
They  Emwhisper your  Cname while they  Ggrow  D  
And if  Gyou were a  Criver run  Gdry  D  
Well  CI'd sing you  Dsweet bye and  Gbye
And if  Gyou were a  Criver run  Gdry  D  
Well  CI'd sing you  Dsweet bye and  Gbye
