STILL BE LOVING YOU – David Ryan Harris
[Intro]
C#m A x2
[Verse 1]
C#m A
She rocked me back and forth 'til I quit crying.
C#m A
She looked into that baby face of mine
C#m A
And in an angels voice, she sang this lullaby
E Eb7 G#
Until my slumber carried me into the night.
C#m A
"I'm grateful for these moments with you child.
C#m A
I know you're only mine to borrow for a while.
E Eb7 G#
Soon youre gonna want to crawl away.
A F#m B
It’s in your nature. Its just how we were made.
[Chorus]
E
But I will still be loving you"
E C#m A
I will still be loving you
E
I will still be loving you
E C#m A D G F#m
I will still be loving you
[Verse 2]
C#m A
She had wished for us a normal family life
C#m A
But 4 became my brother, she and I.
C#m A
Times were hard for us but somehow we got by.
E Eb7 G#
She was fearless through her tears and sacrifice
C#m A
I had to grow up much faster than she would have liked
C#m A
But when she knew that she had taught me wrong from right
E Eb7 G#
She said "go on, I know you need to move away.
A F#m B
Childhood is manhood slightly delayed,
[Chorus]
E
But I will still be loving you"
E C#m A
I will still be loving you
E C#m A
I will still be loving you
E C#m A D G F#m
I will still be loving you
[Verse 3]
C#m A
I left home to try and find my way
C#m A
Like a blind man feeling his way through a maze.
C#m A
I love and lose befriend but not betray
E Eb7 G#
Because the things you taught inform how I behave.
C#m A
In my darkest hours when I am afraid
C#m A
Or I'm not sure that I can take another day
E Eb7 G#
I remember the one promise that you made,
A F#m B
"If the whole world shuts you down it'll be okay.
[Chorus]
E
Cause I will still be loving you"
E C#m A
I will still be loving you
E C#m A
I will still be loving you
E C#m A D G F#m
I will still be loving you
[Verse 4]
C#m A
Now that I'm a man I realize
C#m A
What a gift it has been to have you in my life.
C#m A
Your spirit is young although your body is tired
E Eb7 G#
And soon for good you'll have to close your eyes
C#m A
The years around your body like a weight.
C#m A
I guess that too is just how we are made,
E Eb7 G#
So when the angels come and carry you away
A F#m B
May they whisper in your ears, my serenade.
[Chorus]
E
I will still be loving you.
E C#m A
I will still be loving you
E C#m A
I will still be loving you
E C#m A D G F#m E
I will still be loving you
