One Day Soon

Bb Eb Bb Eb


[Verse 1]
Eb                              Gm
I watch her breathing while she sleeps
Eb                        Gm
And then a feeling buries me
Cm                          F
I’d die to see her walk to me
                   Gm
To smile in disbelief
                          Eb
At the ground beneath her feet


[Verse 2]
Eb                               Gm
She cracks a smile and shows her teeth
Eb                               Gm
It’s been a year, she looks like me
Cm                          F
I’d die to teach her how to pray
                    Gm
To give to God each day
                  Eb
To know it when I say


[Chorus]
Bb                   Eb
You’ll never be alone
Bb                 Eb
You’ll never be alone
     Gm                             Eb
Even after all of your innocence is gone
Bb                 Eb
You’ll never be alone

[Verse 3]
Eb
One day soon she’ll say
Gm      Eb                        G
Daddy, I love a boy and he loves me
Cm                                     F
And I’ll watch her leave and then I’ll pray
                     Gm
And give to God that day
                      Eb
And hope her heart is safe


[Verse 4]
Eb                            Gm
A few weeks later she’ll come home
Eb                          Gm
Crying that boy had let her go
Cm        C     Cm     F
He wasn’t ready yet to be
                    Gm
The kind of man she needs
     F         Gm       Eb
So I hold her close and sing, softly


[Chorus]
Bb                   Eb
You’ll never be alone
Bb                 Eb
You’ll never be alone
     Gm                             Eb
Even after all of your innocence is gone
Bb                 Eb
You’ll never be alone


[Instrumental]
Gm  F  Bb Eb  Cm  Gm F


[Verse 5]
Eb                             Gm
One day soon, she’ll walk the aisle
Eb                          Gm
My little girl, my precious child
Cm                             F
Beautiful woman, veiled and sweet
                     Gm
I’ll smile in disbelief
                           Eb
As the tears roll down my cheek

And then I’ll whisper, softly


[Chorus]
Bb                   Eb
You’ll never be alone
Bb                 Eb
You’ll never be alone
   F    Gm                               F  Eb
Even after God calls both your parents home
Bb                  Eb
You’ll never be alone
