   Asus2        E
He didnt have to wake up
B               E

He'd been up all nite
      Asus2         E
Lay'n there in bed listen'n
      B         C#m    B
      *                *
To his new born baby cry
   Asus2          E
He makes a pot of coffee
           B            C#m
           *            
He splashes water on his face
    Asus2            E
His wife gives him a kiss and says
        B   E
        *   
It gonna be OK
        Asus2B     E
             *

     *                 
She's crawling in there bed
            Asus2            E
And when he drops her off at preschool

     *                  *
She's clinging to his leg

He says what can I do
    Asus2             E

One day soon she'll be a teenager
       G#m

           Asus2
Then he'll walk her down the isle
C#m           B
              *
And he'll raise her veil
  G#      C#m
But right now she up and cryin'

And the truth is that he dont mind
      Asus2
As he kisses her good night
               B
               *
And she says her prayers
   Asus2             E
He lays down there beside her
         B               C#m
         *               
Till her eyes are finally closed
         Asus2          E
And just watch'n her it breaks his heart
      B         E
      *         
Cause he already knows
        Asus2B     E
             *     
It wont be like this for long
        Asus2      B

One day soon that little girl is gonna be
