(Intro.)
|(G) / / / |(C) / (D) / |(Em) / (D) / |(C) / (D) / |

(Verse)
Well, I wasn't there to see the (C)first steps or hear the (D)first word
Or watch the (Em)doctor bring them in
And there's a (C)lot of time I (D)missed out on
I'll (Em)never get back again (C) (D)
 
(Chorus)
Call it (G)stepping up, or stepping in
But (C)step by step my (D)world went spinning a-(Em)round
That little (D)heart and angel (C)face (D)
They’re (G)growing up, and I'm growing old
Making (C)memories we'll (D)always hold
But (Em)I thank God for (D)sending them my (C)way (D)
'Cause it (Em)ain't my blood or (D)DNA that (C)made that precious child
But it (Em)don't take rocket (D)science to figure (C)out
They're my life |(G) / / / |(C) / (D) / |

(Verse)
One day they'll have their (C)first kiss, their (D)first dance
And their (Em)I turned sixteen car
And I'll (C)be right there when they (D)walk in hurt
From (Em)their first broken heart
And I'm (C)longing for those (D)moments
Along with (Em)all the ones I missed
I never (C)knew this was how life (G/B)would turn out
But (Am)I'm sure glad it (D)did
 
(Chorus)
Call it (G)stepping up, or stepping in
But (C)step by step my (D)world went spinning a-(Em)round
That little (D)heart and angel (C)face (D)
Theyre (G)growing up, and I'm growing old
Making (C)memories we'll (D)always hold
But (Em)I thank God for (D)sending them my (C)way (G)
'Cause it (Em)ain't my blood or (D)DNA that (C)made that precious child
But it don't (Em) take rocket (D)science to figure (C)out
That they're my (C)life |(G) / / / |(C) / / / |(C) / / / |(D) / / / |
 
(Break)
One (Em)day they'll look back through (D)all these years
And (C)I pray that they'll find
That even (Em)though they didn't (D)come from me
(C)They know that they're mine - - -

(Chorus)
Call it (G)stepping up, or stepping in
But (C)step by step my (D)world went spinning a-(Em)round
That little (D)heart and angel (C)face (Em) (D)
They’re (G)growing up, and I'm growing old
Making (C)memories we'll (D)always hold
But I (Em) thank God for (D)sending them my (C)way (D)
'Cause it (Em)ain't my blood or (D)DNA that (C)made that precious child
But it don’t (Em) take rocket (D)science to figure (C)out
They're my life
