I was there when you drew the breath of lifeAnd i could hear your oice the first time that you cried
And though you couldn't see me
I was very near
And ther's something now that I want you to hear

You will always be a child in my eyes
And when you need some love my arms are open wide
And even if you're growing old I hope you realize
You will always be a child in my eyes.

I was there the first time you prayed
And I heared all the promises you made
And when you fell before me
Crying Father I have sinned
I picked you up and held you close again

You will always be a child in my eyes
And when you need some love my arms are open wide
And even if you're growing old I hope you realize
You will always be a child in my eyes
You will always be a child in my eyes
