Am
I sing you a song

C
while you sleep

F
next to me.

Am
My dreams have changed

C
to include you

F
and no one dares

Am              G
compare to you, I swear

F
It's true.


[Verse 2]

Am
We celebrate

C
this precious life

F
that we have made.

Am
It won't be long

C
till you are grown

F
spread your wings

Am              G
I'll watch you fly away

F
from here.


[Chorus]

C          Am              G
And I will shield you from the rain

C          Am              G
and she will guide you through the pain

C          Am              G       F
and you will carry on the best of us.


[Verse 3]

Am
And when I'm gone

C
remember me.

F
And all the songs

Am
sing to her.

C
When you have one

F
and no one here

Am              G       F
even though my time is done.


[Chorus]

C           Am            G
And I will shield you from the rain

C           Am            G
and she will guide you through the pain

C           Am            G       F
and you will carry on the best of us.
