I was there when you drew the breath of life
And I heard your voice the first time that you cried
And though you couldn't see Me
I was very near
And there's something now that I want you to hear

You will always be a child in My eyes
And when you need some love My arms are open wide
And even when you're growing old
I hope you realize
That you will always be a child in My eyes

I was there the first time that you prayed
And I heard all the promises you made
And when you fell before Me crying Father I have sinned
I picked you up and held you close again

You will always be a child in My eyes
And when you need some love My arms are open wide
And even when you're growing old
I hope you realize
That you will always be a child in My eyes

You will always be a child in My eyes
And when you need some love My arms are open wide
And even when you're growing old
I hope you realize
That you will always be a child in My eyes
You will always be a child in My eyes
