A Mother’s Promise

Yaakov Shwekey

Original key: F major
Capo 0-5

C             G       Am                 F
Dreams of perfection dance around in my mind
   C          G       Am            F
A miracle of life so beautifully designed
      Dm               Em        F               G
As I hear your first cries, my heart fills with love
         C           F       C          F
You’re placed in my arms, a gift from above

      C        G           Am               F
Then come the words that forever change my world
 Am                                           G
Something’s not right with your sweet little girl
   C       F     C        F       C          F       C     F
I hold you even tighter, as old dreams just seem to fade away
   Dm          C            Dm                 G
I know I will love you, protect, and keep you safe
         F              G
“We will be alright” I tell you with a soft kiss
F         F
Hm hm hm  hm hm hm

Chorus
C               F                 G          C
I promise I’ll be your eyes when you cannot see
C             F                  F     E    Am
I promise to be your voice when you cannot speak
   G            F                 C                  Dm
I promise I’ll be your legs when you can’t bear the weight
F            C                       G              C
I promise to be your heart when the pain gets too great
C               F                 G          C
I promise I’ll be your eyes when you cannot see

I promise to be your voice when you cannot speak
    G          F                  C                  Dm

C            G             Am               F
Deep in the night, when I watch your eyes close
     C            G       Am            F
The mother in my heart is desperate to know
            Dm           Em          F            G
When those big blue eyes open, is it me that you see?
           C           F          C           F
Will your sweet little arms ever reach out to me?

      C         G          Am              F
When you hear laughter, is it just empty noise?
        Am                                G
Do you fear you’re all alone in pain and joy
          C     F       C       F      C         F      C       F
Will you ever know the feelings of my love that really runs so deep
 Dm            Em         Dm             G
Dreaming of tomorrow, we softly drift asleep
         F              G
“We will be alright” I tell you with a soft kiss
F         F
Hm hm hm  hm hm hm

I promise I’ll be your legs when you can’t bear the weight
F            C                        G            C
I promise to be your heart when the pain gets too great.
   Dm       G       F
I promise I’ll be there
              Dm                  F
Through the triumphs and through tears
            C           Dm
To be the spark in the dark
    Am                  C  G
I promise I promise I pro-mise
