It’s [G]been twenty years since you [Bm]went away
So [Em]why does it feel like [C]yesterday ?
[G]They said time would [Bm]heal my wounds
So [Em]why does it still sting [C]missing you ?
[Am]So much has [Em]changed [D]...but [Am]you’re still here in [Em]so many ways [D]
[G]Every time I hold my baby girl, I [D]feel your arms
[Em]Every time I watch her laugh and twirl, I [D]see your smile
[C]I just wish that [Em]she could see it [D]too
[C]Oh, how sweet it [Em]was being [D]loved by you
[G]Every time I board another plane, it [D]takes me back
To [Em]all the family trips that we would take, the [D]fun we had
It [C]breaks my heart to [Em]think of all you’ve [D]missed
But [C]your heart has been bea[Em]ting in me [D]ever since
Cause [Am]you are a[Cm]live in [G]me
I’m [G]four years old standing [Bm]on your feet
We’re [Em]dancing around so [C]wild and free
It’s [G]time for bed, you [Bm]snuggle next to me
We [Em]talk about our day as [C]I drift off to sleep
[Am]So much has [Em]changed [D]...but [Am]you’re still here in [Em]so many ways [D]
[G]Every time I pay the water bill, I [D]see your desk
And [Em]think of how you cared for us so well, so [D]selfless
You [C]worked so hard you [Em]treated us like [D]queens
When [C]you were there, we [Em]never had to [D]worry about a thing
[G]Every time I trim my Christmas tree, it [D]takes me back
To [Em]1989 on Christmas Eve, I [D]hear your laugh
It [C]breaks my heart to [Em]think of all you’ve [D]missed
But [C]your heart has been [Em]beating in me [D]ever since
Cause [Am]you are a[Cm]live in [G]me
[C]There are fewer things more [Em]precious in this world
Than [Am]knowing what it means to [Cm]be a Daddy’s Girl
[G]Every time I see snow fall again, my [D]world stands still
[Em]You and me are building a snowman, sledding [D]down that hill
[C]Though our time was [Em]nowhere near e[D]nough
[C]I am who I [Em]am today be[D]cause of how you loved
And [G]someday I’ll come running through those gates and [D]hold you tight
And [Em]thank you for the million little ways you [D]changed my life
But [C]until then, these [Em]memories I’ll [D]keep
For[C]ever in my [Em]heart, you’ll always [D]be
Cause [Am]you are a[Cm]live in [G]me
Forever [Am]you are a[Cm]live in [G]me.
