C G F G x2
C G
I met you after midnight
F G
In a castle in the sky
C G
I held your mother's hand
F G
As all the horses ran outside
C G
To gather all the kings and queens
F G
To look into your eyes
C G
And call upon the messengers
F G
To spread this kingdom wide
C G Am C
That you are the only you
C G Am C
So close your eyes my baby blue
C G Am C
And when you dream we'll dream of you
C G Am C
And see you when the day is new
C G Am C
And hold you when the day is new
C G F G
C G
The welcome mat we carved
F G
We made especially for you
C G
We waited under summer stars
F G
And countless summer moons
C G
Seasons started changing and
F G
The trees all caught on fire
C G
Gave up all their leaves
F G
To tell the world that you've arrived
C G Am C
That you are the only you
C G Am C
So close your eyes my baby blue
C G Am C
And when you dream we'll dream of you
C G Am C
And see you when the day is new
C G Am C
And hold you when the day is new
C G F G
Am Em F G
Now that the world is yours
Am Em F G
And this castle is your home
Am Em F G
We'll keep you safe and warm
Am Em F G C
And watch you grow in love
C G Am C
Sam you are the only you
C G Am C
So close your eyes my baby blue
C G Am C
And when you dream we'll dream of you
C G Am C
And see you when the day is new
C G Am C
And hold you when the day is new
