C
When twilight shadows are falling
F
C
And my day’s work is done
G7
Tis then I wind my way back to my home
C
And the light I find there shining
F
C
Like a guiding star to me
G7
C
To show me the right road from the wrong
G7
It’s there a girl is waiting
C
A7
With a baby On her knee
D7
G7
And to see them it just fills my heart with joy
C
Because I truly love them
F
C
They mean the world to me
G7
C
It’s my wife and my precious baby boy
F
C
We’re sitting by the fire
G7
And the baby crawls around there on the floor
C
My thoughts then turn to heaven
F
C
And I thank the Lord above
G7
C
For the blessings he has let come in our door
G7
I know I’m not deserving
C
A7
The blessings he has sent
D7
G7
I try and try and yet I go astray
C
But I will keep on praying
F
C
For the Lord To help me be
G7
C
The man I want my boy to be someday
F
C
The clock is striking nine
G7
And the baby is a yawning now and then
C
My wife she gently picks him up
F
C
And starts to rocking him
G7
C
I can feel a tugging at my heart within
G7
His head up on her shoulders
C
A7
Her neck his arms entwine
D7
G7
His eyelids are heavy as can be
C
Then he gives up the struggle
F
C
And snuggles close to her
G7
C
Than this world to me
F
C
She tucks him in his bed
G7
And side by side we two kneel down and pray
C
We ask the lord in heaven
F
C
To watch our darling boy
G7
C
And to help him walk the straight and narrow way
G7
At times this world seems dreary
C
A7
And hardships come my way
D7
G7
As I struggle on through this life
C
But my cares all just vanish
F
C
When I reach that little home
G7
C
To be greeted by my baby and my wife
