D      G   Bm        A
Oh child, precious one
D           G            Bm     A
Let your life shine like the sun
        D                      A
But you say "How long 'til I can come home
          Bm                       A
'Til I can rest in your arms again"
        D                         A                     Bm
And I say "Not long but don't miss this life and I'll be
                  A
Waiting 'til then"



(Chorus)

            G                 D
Live with the wonder of a child
                 G                   D
Pray with your arms thrown open wide
             G                   D
Love with a love that has no end
        G             D
Until I see you again




 D   G       Bm     A
Oh child, precious one
       D  G            Bm           A
With each breath know you are loved
           D                    A
But you say "How long 'til I can come home
          Bm                       A
'Til I can rest in your arms again"
         D                   A                           Bm
And I say "Not long but don't miss this life and I'll be
                  A
Waiting 'til then"
