[Verse 1]
E A B E
The only time I've seen you was about a year ago
A B E
I was afraid to hold you but I wanted you to know
B A B A
I touched your tiny perfect hand before I went uptown
E A B E
I didn't pick you up because I'd have to put you down
[Verse 2]
E A B E
For reasons that don't make much sense and you won't understand
A B E
I've stayed away for your first year, it's sort of what I planned
B A B A
But I've been in your neighbourhood, sometimes just blocks away
E A B E
I didn't come to visit you because I couldn't stay
[Bridge]
F#m A B E
There was a baby on a plane, maybe she was two
F#m A B E
And she was smiling at me I was not sure what to do
B A B A
I've kept my distance from you a year's much more than a while
E A B E
And so I looked away from her too ashamed to smile
[Verse 3]
E A B E
When I saw you last year, I knew that there was no mistake
A B E
Amazing things can happen why just look what life can make
B A B A
But life can get so hard sometimes some feelings can't be tamed
E A B E
And people get so angry frightened and ashamed
[Verse 4]
E A B E
You've been a sort of secret for a year I've told but few
A B E
Although I’m sure that where you are so many must love you
B A B A
And I've passed by your window but haven't dared look in
E A B E
Although I know I'd love you too, I'm too scared to begin
