Beautiful ChildJim Kenyon


[G] Innocence, found [C] in its purest [G]form


[C] beautiful, the [G]calm before the [D]storm


[Em] no hate no [D] bias, no [C]bigotry [G]exists


yet [C] so much to [D] face and re[G]sist






[G]born into a [C] world that can be [G]cruel


it's [C]got it share of [G]knaves and [D]fools


[Em] but there’s also [D]kindness and [C]love all a[G]round


and [C] it's just waiting, [D] there to be [G]found


[Em]so what I wish to [C] give you [G] in the times to [D]come, is


[Em] happiness, and [C] wisdom, and a [G] life full of [D]love


[Em]A world of pleasant [C]memories kept [G]safely in your [C]heart



and [G] know that I'll be [D] gone someday, but we’ll [C] never,be [G] apart


[G] little smiles that [C] just melt my[G]heart


a [C]touch that says I [G]trust you from the [D] start


[Em] chest to chest [D]heart to heart [C]a little hand in [G]mine


it be[C]gins a love to[D] last for all of [G]time


[Em]so what I wish to [C] give you [G] in the times to [D]come, is


[Em] happiness, and [C] wisdom, and a [G] life full of [D]love


[Em]A world of pleasant [C]memories kept [G]safely in your [C]heart


and [G] know that I'll be [D] gone someday, but we’ll [C] neverbe [G] apart


[D] know that if I’m [C] gone,someday,we’ll never be [G] apart


[D] know that if I’m [C] gone,someday,we’ll never be [G] apart


[D] know that if I’m [C] gone,someday,we’ll never be [G] apart

When I read this it is hard to keep a dry eye. Gorgeous song and poem.  Thank you TIGLJK.

Music is what feelings sound like.
Music is life, that why our hearts have beats.

You've done it again. Jim, you must be a true wordsmith. I haven't tried playing it yet, that pleasure is yet to come.
Beautiful words, reminded me of my granddaughter and the bond between us.

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: after visiting my grandaughter - I added a verse

Jim I was very close to my father's parents and though many years have past since they died I still feel their presence in my heart. Your song is  beautiful and while reading your lyrics I had this picture in my head of them singing to me your song.
