verse

C Dm
so much love the kids are laughing in their sleep
G F C
swimming through their dreams into the morning

so peaceful all the stories that were told
lead them through the night back from the shadows

so much joy every little girl and boy
even better when they wake up tomorrow

so much love in their little missin teeth
gonna miss you till we meet again in the morning

so much peace in their pitter – patter feet
any open eyes can see that minds are reaching

so much joy im afraid to be swept away
upstream theres a spring that brings in the new day

chorus

F C
these are the gifts we keep
F C
and this is the morning that we breathe
G
and then we see
C Dm G F C Dm G F C
these moments are the only gifts we need

verse

C
and your crazy curly morning hair
Dm
your makapiapia stare
G
smiling down from the top of the stairs
F C
youre so sweet

C
and your robot pictures spread around
Dm
i swear your feet dont touch the ground
G
once it starts it dont slow down
F C
but i dont want it to

chorus

and these are the gifts we keep
and this is the morning that we breathe
and then we see
these moments are the only gifts we need
