 5  6   -6  6   6
If you leap a-wake 
 5  6  -6   6   6 5  6   5-44
In the mir-ror of a bad dream
 4   5  6   6    5   5 5  5   -4
And for a frac-tion of a sec-ond
 -4   -4   4  4   4    4    -4  5
You can’t re-mem-ber where you are
  7  7  -7  -6  -6   6
Just o-pen your win-dow
 4   -6  6    4   -6 6  5  6   5-44
And fol-low your mem-o-ry up-stream
 5  6   6   5   5  5    5    4
To the mea-dow in the moun-tain
   4   4   -4   5 -4  4   -4    4   4
Where we count-ed ev-‘ry fall-ing star

7 -7  -6    6    -6    6     6    6  5
I be-lieve the light that shines on you
  4    -6   6  6   5   6  5-44
Will shine on you for-ev-er
 4     5   6   -6   6    6  6
And though I can’t gaur-an-tee
   5      5   5   5  -4  -4  4   4  -4   4   5
There’s noth-ing sca-ry hid-ing un-der your bed
 4  5   6   -6    6
Im gon-na stand guard
  4  4   -6   6   5 5  6   6   5   6   5-44
Like a post-card of a Gol-den Re-triev-er
 4   5  6    6     5  5   5    -4
And ne-ver leave ‘til I leave you
 -4  4   -4    4    4  -4    4
With a sweet dream in your head

 7   7   7   7    6   -6
I’m gon-na watch you shine
 6   6   6    6   6-55
Gon-na watch you grow
 6   6   7   7  -6
Gon-na paint a sign
 6    6    6   6   6-55
So you’ll al-ways know
 4   7  -7  -6  6   -5  5  6   8  7
As long as one and one is two-oo-oo
  5     6   -6  6   6 6   6   5
There could ne-ver be a fath-er
  5    5    5   -4   -4    4 -4   4   4
Loved his daugh-ter more than I love you

  5     5   5 -4 5   4
Trust your in-tu-i-tion 
  4    5    5   5 -4    5   4
It’s just like go-in’ fish-in’
 4    5    5    6   6    5   -4  4  4   5
You cast your line and hope you get a bite
 4   7    -7   -6   6   -6    6   5-44
But you don’t need to waste your time
 5   5  5     5   -4  5   4    4
Wor-ry-in’ ‘bout the mar-ket place
 5  -4   5  -4   5  4    4
Try to help the hu-man race
   5    5    6  6    4    4    -4   -4   4
Strug-glin’ to sur-vive it’s harsh-est night

7   7   7   7    6   -6
I’m gon-na watch you shine
 6   6   6    6   6-55
Gon-na watch you grow
 6   6   7   7  -6
Gon-na paint a sign
 6    6    6   6   6-55
So you’ll al-ways know
 4   7  -7  -6  6   -5  5  6   8  7
As long as one and one is two-oo-oo
  5     6   -6  6   6 6   6   5
There could ne-ver be a fath-er
  5    5    5   -4   -4    4 -4   4   4
Loved his daugh-ter more than I love you

I’m gon-na watch you shine
