   G
Wiped the window clean of frost, as the morning air laid on the ledge
G                                 Bm
A whistle awakened someone there, next door to the nursery just down the hall
F                                              C

C                    D
Large hands lift him through the air
Bm                     B7

The eyes of those he loves and knows

F                            C                               D
Glancing down upon this thing, That makes strange sounds, strange sounds

Until you grew much older
