[Verse 1]
[F]Tim[G]my [Am]was [G]born[C]
[Bb]in the midst of [C]December[G]
And he was [C]our new baby [Am]boy
that we [G]so dearly loved
And we were so happy for him
[F]an d so happy with him
[C]And so we got on our knees
and we thanked God above
Well, the days [Bb]passed for weeks,[C]
[F]and the weeks turned into a year,
and then we found
that Timmy couldn't [C]walk,
and we were so [G]hurt at first.[C]
[G]So we just lov[C]ed him much har[G]der,
and we couldn't wait for him
[C]to begin to [G]talk.[Am]
[G]Well, [C]soon he said his first words,
and soon he was talking
from morning
until late at [G]night.[C]
And then soon [G]he was six,
[Em]and [G]soon he was seven,
[F]and then we [Am]had another horrible [C]fright.
You see, Timmy got sick,
and so we [Bb]called for the [C]doctor,
[F]and they found a cancer [G]inside,
[Dm]and th[Am]ey said there wasn't much time[C],
[Dm]an d[C] all[Bb] we could do was just
to [G]make him happy,
because [C]he was going [G]to die.[Am][G]
[C]Well, he would sit by that window
and [Bb]watch the neighbor's kid
[C]s running and [G]playing outside.
[C]And he used to ask me some question[G]s
about why he was feeling so bad.
But [F]you know he [C]never did cry.
I remember one day he told me he wished he could
run like all the [Am]other kids [F]when they
And then he turned back to star
[G]ing and [C]dreaming
of something a mil[Am]lion miles
[Dm]away.[C][G][C]
And fi[Dbdim]nally each day [C]he got sicker,
and each [F]day he got weaker and thinner.
And I was [Dm]holdin' him by the win
[C]dow that day
His eyes [G]were so [Am]weak,
[G]and he [Dm]couldn't even [G]speak
But he [C]smiled as he ran out to play
