THIS IS A GREAT SONG FOR ALL PARENTS.
CAPO 2ND FRET  
GThree a.m. on the clock, lulEmlaby music box
Oh, Cbaby please don't cry, let's let Ammama sleep tonight,
You've only Gbeen home one day, you don't Emeven know your name,
tiny hCand on my cheek, you're a Ammiracle to me,
In the stEmillness of the night, cradleDd in this rocking chair,
I hold aEmll my hopes and dreams, every Dsingle answered prayer.
CHOURS:
In my Garms, wish I could hold you foreG7ver,
In my Carms, Cadd9I will give you Amshelter,
Still I Gknow, I can't always be G7there,
To protCect you from this Cadd9great big old Amworld,
But I sCwear this much is true,
There'll always Dbe a place for you, in my Garms.
VERSE 2:
GAs I watch you take each breath, oh it scaEmres me to death,
To know you're Ccounting on me, to be the Amdaddy that you need,
Wounded Gknees and broken hearts, learEmning how to drive a car,
when it's tCime for your first date, will I Amknow just what to say,
And when you Emfind that one true love, I'll Dput on my best smile,
and I'll Emtry to hide my tears, as I Dwalk you down the aisle
CHOURS 2x:
Oh, this Cpromise I will keep
as you Amfinally fall aslDeep...in my arGms

You've only been home one day, you don't even know your name,

As I watch you take each breath, oh it scares me to death,

when it's time for your first date, will I know just what to say,

And when you find that one true love, I'll put on my best smile,

and I'll try to hide my tears, as I walk you down the aisle
