Lyrics

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.
