Key of A

(Intro)

(Verse)

Three a.m. on the clock
Lullaby, music box
Oh, baby please don’t cry
Let’s let mama sleep tonight
You’ve only been home one day
You don’t even know your name
Tiny hand on my cheek
You’re a miracle to me
In the stillness of the night
Cradled in this rocking chair
I hold all my hopes and dreams,
Every single answered prayer

(Chorus)
In my arms
Wish I could hold you forever
In my arms
I will give you shelter
Still I know
I can’t always be there
To protect you from this great big old world
But I swear this much is true
There’ll always be a place for you…in my arms

(Verse)
As I watch you take each breathe
Oh, it scares me to death
To know you’re counting on me
To be the daddy that you need
Wounded knees, broken hearts
Learning how to drive a car
When it’s time for you 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

Repeat Chorus (Twice)
Oh, this promise I will keep
As you finally fall alseep….in my arms

CAPO 1
Verse 1:
What stations are the buttons of your radio on
Do you sleep late Saturday or get up at dawn
Do you prefer fiddles or violins
And have you given any thought to how a lifetime of love begins

I want to know everything there is to know about
What turns you on what you like and what you don’t
Tell me all your secrets, all your hopes and wishes too
I want to be everything you ever want
So I’m gonna need something to go on
I mean to make your every dream come true
So I want to know everything there is to know about you

Verse 2:
Do you like walking underneath the moonlight
Is there some kind of magic that’ll make the mood right
How many kisses, how many stars
I’m determined to keep trying ‘til I find the way to your heart

CHORUS

Instrumental: A D A E

The serious stuff and the light-hearted
Looking in your eyes and I’m just getting started

Last Chorus: (key change)
I want to know everything there is to know about
What turns you on what you like and what you don’t
Tell me all your secrets, all your hopes and wishes too
I want to be everything you ever want
So I’m gonna need something to go on
I mean to make your every dream come true
So I want to know everything there is to know about you
Well, I want to know everything there is to know about you
