F#

Finally I've met you

The day has come

You're more than beautiful

And you're my son

E

I don't deserve this

I never thought it could be

F#

Quite like the moment

When you first smiled at me

E

A toothless, wonderful feeling

Like I'd never seen

F#

It's you, Noah, it's you

DaddA DaddG# DaddA

And when you lie down to sleep

I'll protect you

DaddG#

From the demons of the night

F# G A B

While I'm watching you grow

B A

I'll pray

E

There's so much I could teach you

B

If you only have the time

A

Pray

E

There's so much God can teach you

B

If you only have the time

F#

So will you tell me the little things?

What does God look like?

And angels' wings?

E

I don't remember these things

So would you teach them to me?

F#

So for the moment

I'll watch you breathe

E

And when you wake up in the morning

And I pour the coffee

F#

You're always smiling sweetly

DaddA DaddG# DaddA

And when you lie down to sleep

I'll protect you

DaddG#

From the demons of the night

F# G A B

While I'm watching you grow

B A

I'll pray

E

There's so much I could teach you

B

If you only have the time

A

Pray

E

There's so much God can teach you

B

If you only have the time
