[Intro]
C F C F
C F C
I held you when I saw you and still I could not believe
C F C
Face to face with an angel there starin' right back at me
Am F
Placed in these workin' man's arms by the hands of the Father
C F C
Oh Mary full of grace blessed the love between daddies and daughters
C F C
Tucking you in, reading "Good Night Moon" every night
C F C
Then kneelin' down sayin' our prayers side by side
Am F
Down on my knees with you I swear I never stood taller
C F C
Oh Mary full of grace blessed the love between daddies and daughters
[Bridge]
F
And every time I see you now
F C
I can't remember nothin' 'bout anything before
F
And more and more I realize
F
Your's was not the only life
Am F
That began on the day that you were born
C F C
Bless the angels that brought you and the love between daddies and daughters
[Solo]
(BRIDGE chords, but don't play last line)
C F C
You will always reside in my heart's most sacred place
C F C
Safe from all time and all distance, there you will remain
Am F
The faith you've had in me made me and my faith so much stronger
C F C F
For the blessings you brought me, and the lessons you taught me
C F C
Ah Mary full of grace blessed the love between daddies and daughters
C F C
Bless the angels that brought you and the love between daddies and daughters
[Outro]
