You (Ebsus2)tucked me in, turned out the light; (Cm7)kept me safe and sound at night.

(Ebsus2)Lit tle girls de pend on things like (Cm7)that.

(Ebsus2)Brushed my teeth and combed my hair; (Cm7)had to drive me ev ’ry where.

(Ebsus2)You were al ways there when I looked (Cm7)back.

You had to do it all a lone, make a liv ing, make a home.

It (Ebsus2)must have been as hard as it could (Cm7)be.

And when I could n’t sleep at night, scared things (Cm7)would n’t turn out right,

(Ebsus2)you would hold my (Bb)hand and sing to me:

(Bb)“Cat er pil lar in the (Bb)tree, (Eb)how you won der who you’ll be.

(Bb)Can’t go far but you can (Bb)al ways (C)dream.

(Bb)Wish you may and wish you (Bb)might; (Eb)don’t you wor ry, hold on tight.

I (Bb)prom ise you there will (Bb)come a day,

(Fsus)but ter fly, (F)fly a way.”

(Ebsus2)But ter fly, fly a way.

(Bb)But ter fly, fly a way.

Got your wings now, you can’t stay.

(Ebsus2)Take those dreams and make them all come (Cm7)true.

(Ebsus2)But ter fly, fly a way.

(Bb)But ter fly fly a way.

You’ve been wait ing for this day.

(Ebsus2)All a long, you’ve known just what to do.

(Ebsus2)But ter fly,

(Bb)but ter fly,

(Cm7)but ter fly,

but ter fly, (F)fly a way.
