A#A# Piano Chord 

That's all I wanted
G#G# Piano Chord 

Something special, something sacred
A#A# Piano Chord 

In your eyes

For just one moment
G#G# Piano Chord 

To be bold and naked

At your side
F#F# Piano Chord 
                             G#G# Piano Chord 

Sometimes I think that you'll never
A#A# Piano Chord 

Understand me
F#F# Piano Chord 
                    G#G# Piano Chord 

Maybe this time is forever
FF Piano Chord 

Say it can be

That's all you wanted
Something special, someone sacred
In your life
Just for one moment
To be warm and naked
At my side
Sometimes I think that you'll never
Understand me
But something tells me together
We'd be happy

:chorus:
(Baby)
A#A# Piano Chord 

I will be your father figure
(Oh baby)
Put your tiny hand in mine

(I'd love to)
G#G# Piano Chord 

I will be your preacher teacher
(Be your daddy)
Anything you have in mind

(It would make me)
A#A# Piano Chord 

I will be your father figure
(Very happy)
I have had enough of crime

(Please let me)
G#G# Piano Chord 

I will be the one who loves you
A#A# Piano Chord 

Until the end of time


That's all I wanted
But sometimes love can be mistaken
For a crime
That's all I wanted
Just to see my baby's
Blue eyed shine
This time I think that my lover
Understands me
If we have faith in each other
Then we can be
Strong

:chorus:
I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
I will be the one who loves you
Until the end of time

:Bridge:
F#F# Piano Chord 
              G#G# Piano Chord 

If you are the desert
F#F# Piano Chord 

I'll be the sea
F#F# Piano Chord 
           G#G# Piano Chord 

If you ever hunger
F#F# Piano Chord 

Hunger for me
F#F# Piano Chord 
                G#G# Piano Chord 

Whatever you ask for
FF Piano Chord 
   F#F# Piano Chord 

That's what I'll be
G#G# Piano Chord 
                       F#F# Piano Chord 

So when you remember the ones who have lied
G#G# Piano Chord 

Who said that they cared?
F#F# Piano Chord 

But then laughed as you cried
G#G# Piano Chord 

Beautiful Darling
FF Piano Chord 

Don't think of me
A#  (solo) G#
Because all I ever wanted
A#A# Piano Chord 
               G#G# Piano Chord 

It's in your eyes baby, baby
A#A# Piano Chord 

And love can't lie, no...
F#F# Piano Chord 
              G#G# Piano Chord 
              A#A# Piano Chord 

(Greet me with the eyes of a child)
F#F# Piano Chord 

My love is always tell me to...
G#G# Piano Chord 

(Heaven is a kiss and a smile)
FF Piano Chord 

Just hold on, hold on
A#A# Piano Chord 

I won't let you go, my baby

:solo:

:Chorus:
I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
(So I am gonna love you)
Until the end of time
I will be your father
I will be your preacher
I will be your daddy
I will be the one who loves you until the end of time

I am not sure solo is correct but it's better than nothing, don't you
think?
