I found out a while back that I’m going to be a grandfather in a few months so I wrote this song is for my first grandchild.

September 7, 2008
Verse 1
There’s a [G]baby on the way
More than a [C]thousand miles a[G]way
[G]And I’m feeling [C]helpless over [D]here
[C]Praying every[G]day
Your mom and [D]dad will be o[Em]kay [D]
[C]As your birthday [D]keeps on drawing [G]near
Chorus
[Em]Little child I know that you [D]cannot hear my [Em]prayers
But I’m [Em]praying for your health and safety [D]too
[C]All through the [G]day I’m send [D]happy thoughts your [Em]way [D]
[C]As I wait with the [D]world to welcome [G]you
Verse 2
You’re a [G]girl or you’re a boy
Either [C]way you’ll bring us [G]joy
[G]And my hope is that [C]you can get some [D]too
You’ll be [C]happy and ex[G]cited
While you [D]keep us all de[Em]lighted [D]
Oh [C]what a day when we [D]get a peek at [G]you
Chorus
[Em]Little child I know that you [D]cannot hear my [Em]prayers
But I’m [Em]praying for your health and safety [D]too
[C]All through the [G]day I’m send [D]happy thoughts your [Em]way [D]
[C]As I wait with the [D]world to welcome [G]you
Verse 3
I’m [G]sorry I’m not there
But I [C]hope you are a[G]ware
[G]You will have me [C]with you before too [D]long
And we’ll [C]play and we’ll [G]laugh
I [D]might even give you a [Em]bath [D]
[C]Then put you to [D]sleep with a night-night [G]song
Chorus
[Em]Little child I know that you [D]cannot hear my [Em]prayers
But I’m [Em]praying for your health and safety [D]too
[C]All through the [G]day I’m send [D]happy thoughts your [Em]way [D]
[C]As I wait with the [D]world to welcome [Em]you
[C]Let me know if there's [D]anything I can [Em]do
[C]Little child I’ll [D]be right here for [G]you
