A A4 E E12 E
Willy is my child, he is my father
A A4 A D D9 Bm
I would be his lady all my life
B E
He says he’d love to live with me
A D
But for an ancient injury
C#m Bm
That has not healed
E
He said I feel once again
F#m F#m12 F#m
Like I gave my heart too soon
E
He stood looking thru the lace
F#m
At the face on the conquered moon
C#m Bm
And counting all the cars up the hill
D E
And the stars on my window sill
D
There are still more reasons why
A
I love him
Willy is my joy, he is my sorrow
Now he wants to run away and hide
He says our love cannot be real
He cannot hear the chapel’s pealing silver bells
But you know it’s hard to tell
When you’re in the spell if it’s wrong or if it’s real
But you’re bound to lose
If you let the blues get you scared to feel
And I feel like I’m just being born
Like a shiny light breaking in a storm
There are so many reasons why
I love him
Willy is my child, he is my father
