He didnt have to wake up

He'd been up all night
G D
Lying there in bed listen
Asus2 Bm Asus2 G
To his new born baby cry

He makes a pot of coffee
Asus2 Bm
He splashes water on his face

His wife gives him a kiss and says
Asus2 D

And when he drops her off at preschool

And at times you'll think she hates him
G
Then he'll walk her down the isle
Bm Asus2
And he'll raise her vale
A#m Bm
But right now she up and crying
Asus2
And the truth is that he dont mind
G
As he kisses her good night
Asus2
And she says her prayers
G D
He lays down there beside her
Asus2 Bm
Till her eyes are finally closed
G D
And just watching her it breaks his heart
Asus2
Cause he already knows

It wont be like this for long
G Asus2
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
