In My Arms Tab

by Mark Wills


THIS IS A GREAT SONG FOR ALL PARENTS.

CAPO 2ND FRET  
                           
Three a.m. on the clock, lullaby music box
                                   
Oh, baby please don't cry, let's let mama sleep tonight,
                                       
You've only been home one day, you don't even know your name,
                              
tiny hand on my cheek, you're a miracle to me,
                                   
In the stillness of the night, cradled in this rocking chair,
                                    
I hold all my hopes and dreams, every single answered prayer.
     
CHOURS:
                                     
In my arms, wish I could hold you forever,
                     
In my arms, I will give you shelter,
                               
Still I know, I can't always be there,
                                 
To protect you from this great big old world,
       
But I swear this much is true,
                                        
There'll always be a place for you, in my arms.
 
VERSE 2:
                                         
As I watch you take each breath, oh it scares me to death,
                                        
To know you're counting on me, to be the daddy that you need,
                                           
Wounded knees and broken hearts, learning how to drive a car,
                                          
when it's time for your first date, will I know just what to say,
                                         
And when you find that one true love, I'll put on my best smile,
                                  
and I'll try to hide my tears, as I walk you down the aisle

CHOURS 2x:

        
Oh, this promise I will keep
                                  
as you finally fall asleep...in my arms
