Lyrics

The Wonder of Waking

D C G C D G C
Heaven just seemed to be coming his way, I can see by the signs in his heart
D C G C D
Somehow he knew, he knew it was time to depart.
D D G C D G C
So I covered her up from the voices that scared her and kept her from sleeping at night
D C G C D
Held her so close so she no longer struggled inside.

F C F D F C D
Dream on children, real dreams that come true
F C F D F C A G (d-b-d-f#) A G
I’ll be waiting patiently for you

D C G C D G C
Oh the wonder of waking wrapped up next to you, washed away in a world warm and bright
D C G C D
I was saved by the sound of your simple and sane lullabies
D C G C D
I was saved by the sound of your simple, insane lullabies.

D C G C D G C
D C G C G C D

F C F D F C D
Dream on children, real dreams that come true
F C F D F C A G A G A G A
I’ll be waiting patiently for you

D C G C D G C
Oh the wonder of waking wrapped up next to you, washed away in a world warm and bright
D C G C D
I was saved by the sound of your simple and sane lullabies
D C G C D G C
I’ll cover you up from the voices that scare you and keep you from sleeping at night
D C G C D
Hold you so close till you no longer struggle inside.
