Lyrics

(G)As I lay me (B7)down to sleep,

I (Em7)hear her speak to me.

Hel lo ’Ma ri,

how ya do in’?

I think the storm ran out of rain, the clouds are mov in’.

I know you’re hap py

’cause I can see it.

So tell the voice in side ya’ head to be lieve it.

I talked to God a bout you.

He said he (B7)sent you an an gel.

And look at (Em)all that he gave you.

You asked for (C)one and you got two.

Umm, hmm, you know I nev er left you

’cause ev ’ry road that leads to heav en’s right in side you.

So (Bm)I (Am)can (G)say: Hel lo, my (B7)on ly one.

Just like the (Em)morn ing sun, you’ll keep on (C)ris in’ ’til the sky knows your name.

Hel lo, my (B7)on ly one.

Re mem ber (Em)who you are.

No, you’re not (C)per fect, but you’re not (Bm)your (Am)mis (G)takes.

Hey, hey, hey, (B7)hey.

Oh, the (Em)good out weighs the bad e ven on (C)your worst day.

Re mem ber how I’d say, hey, hey, one (B7)day

you’ll be the man you al ways knew you could be.

And if you knew

how proud I was, you’d nev er shed a tear, have (G)a fear.

No, you would n’t do that.

And though I did n’t pick (A7)the day to turn the page, I (C)know it’s not the end ev ’ry time I (G)see her face.

And I hear you say, hel lo, my (B7)on ly one.

Re mem ber (Em)who you are.

You got the (C)world ’cause you got (F9)love in your hands.

And you’re still my (B7)cho sen one.

So, can you (Em)un der stand?

One day you’ll un der stand.

So hear me out, hear me out.

I won’t go, I won’t go.

No good byes, no good byes, just hel lo, just hel lo.

And when you cry, I will cry.

And when you smile, I will smile.

And next time, when I look in your eyes, we’ll have wings and we’ll fly.

Hel lo, my (B7)on ly one.

Just like the (Em)morn ing sun, you’ll keep on (C)ris in’ ’til the sky knows your name.

And you’re still my (B7)cho sen one.

Re mem ber (Em)who you are.

No, you’re not (C)per fect, but you’re (F9)not your mis takes.

Hey, hey, hey, (B7)hey.

Tell No ri a bout me.

Tell No ri a...

Tell No ri a bout me.

Tell No ri a bout me.

Tell No ri a bout me.

Tell No ri a bout me.

Tell No ri a bout me.

Tell No ri a bout me.

Tell No ri a bout me.

Tell No ri a bout me.

Tell No ri a bout me.
