(Verse 1)
F
All I’ve ever known of you are pictures on the wall
Dm
Videos he shows me now and then on his phone
Bb
Your handwriting inside the Bible on his nightstand
C
And your perfume in a chest where he keeps your wedding band
(Pre-chorus 1)
Bb C F
I know we never met, but, ma’am, I would have loved you
Bb C F
So, I hope that I measure up
Gm F/A
And tonight when I pray, I hope you’re listening
Bb C
‘Cos there’s something that I need to say…
(Chorus)
Dm Bb F C
Thank you for raising the man of my dreams
Dm Bb C
Thank you for showing him love
Dm Bb F C
How to respect me and hold someone close
Gm F/A Bb C F
I know it took a woman to raise the man of my dreams
(Verse 2)
F
He’s got wisdom in his dark eyes that match yours on the wall
Dm
That crazy sense of humour that was in those videos
Bb
And when he leaves me notes in the morning on the nightstand
C
There’s an aching in my chest, a hope to wear that wedding band…
(Pre-chorus 2)
Bb C F
‘Cos I know that he’ll make a fine father someday
Bb C F
‘Cos don’t he know how it’s done
Gm F/A
Your love lives on through him every single day
Bb C
So there’s so much for him to give away…
(Chorus)
Dm Bb F C
Thank you for raising the man of my dreams
Dm Bb C
Thank you for showing him love
Dm Bb F C
How to respect me and hold someone close
Gm F/A Bb C F
I know it took a woman to raise the man of my dreams
(Chorus)
Dm Bb F C
Thank you for raising the man of my dreams
Dm Bb C
Thank you for showing him love
Dm Bb F C
How to respect me and hold someone close
Gm F/A Bb C F
I know it took a woman to raise the man of my dreams
