Capo 4th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
This is an original song about my daughters hard start to life.
Will hopefully record it on Youtube down the track so you can hear how it goes.
Cheers
Almond Eyes
x 2
You were held up to me, when you were born
All bloodied and new , your voice filled that ward
The tiniest of hands , they held on to mine
Your Almond eyes , shut tight from the storm
And before I could hold you, you were taken from me
Down white corridors where I could not see
Your blood it was poisoned, you had to much of me
So you clung onto life, which way would you go
My Almond eyes, my almond eyes, my almond eyes x 2
Under those bright lights, they pricked your sweet skin
Your body exposed to all manner of things
That cage that surround you, keeps your life within
So you clung on to life, which way would you go
My Almond eyes, my almond eyes, my almond eyes x 2
With your mother beside me, she prayed through the night
That you wouldn't go, that you'd stay on and fight
And not knowing if you'd be there, ere break of the day
Our hearts filled with joy, you had not gone away
So come here beside me, I'll keep you warm
I'll hold your hand, when your world is torn
yeah there will be dark nights, when your heart can't see
But don't you despair, you will always have me
And my almond eyes, my almond eyes, my almond eyes x 2
So daddy don't cry, don't sing this sad song
I'll take your hand, i'll keep you warm
l know you will be there to keep me from harm
So lay down beside me and i'll keep you warm
Well just shut our eyes to keep out those storms
Well shut our almond eyes , our almond eyes
Our almond eyes, our almond eyes, our almond eyes x 4
