C G C Early days of younger years C G C Full of children’s joys and fears, Dm Whether school or home, Am always felt alone, G In a way, F G what’s a child to do? C G C Days and months went rushing by, C G C Bar Mitzvah in a suit and tie, Dm And my loss still there, Am much too deep to share, G In a way, F G what’s a child to do? Chorus C But I know G you were there the whole time, Am Looking down F G from a window in heaven, C And your touch G like the gentlest breeze, Dm G Saying, I will remember you, son. C Even though G you could not shake my hand, Am You looked down F G from a window in heaven, C And your touch G like the whisper of wings, Dm G Saying, I will be there for you, son, Am G F G into C in a way. C G C Milestones of life flew by, C G C Couldn’t help but wonder why Dm you had to go away, Am I never heard you say G “You’re my son”, F G What’s a child to do? C G C At the Chupa we stood as one, C G C Being watched by everyone, Dm And the tears that flowed, Am both joy and sorrow, G For the one F G who’s not here with me now Chorus C But I know G you were there the whole time, Am Through each step F G you were guiding me forward, C And your touch, G like a breath of fresh air, Dm G Saying, I’ll always love you, my son. C Even though G you could not walk me down, Am I could tell F G you were standing beside me, C And your touch, G like the wisdom of old, Dm G Saying, I am so proud of you, son, F in my way. C G C Now I hold him tenderly, C G C My baby son, for all to see, Dm I am overcome Am G by my actions done, today F G What’s a child to do? C G C My son will bear your name with pride, C G C Holding Zeide’s torch inside, Dm And the part of me Am which was so empty, G is now full, F G as I reach out to you. Chorus C And I know G you were there the whole time, Am Looking down F G from your place in Shomayim, C And your touch, G like a magical spell, Dm G is embracing me tightly right now. C Even though G he was not on your knees, Am You were here F G on a visit from Heaven, C And your touch, G Like the sweetest of wine; Dm G Saying, there’ll always be, a part of me, F G in you, my so--on. (Am F G) C My son.
