HE'S MADE US A FAMILY

Music: Francesco
Lyrics: Francesco, Joan Clair

Intro: (G)-(D/F#)-(Em)-(D)-(Em)-(D)-(C)-(D)

Verse 1
I (G)loved you from (Gmaj7)the start,
I (C/G)wanted to be a part of you,
To (Am7)share your life, to share your dreams,
To (Dsus4)help them all come (D)true.
(Bm7)But something held me back,
It (C)seemed so hard to face the (G/B)fact,
That the (Am7)little child who held your hand
Would (Dsus4)need my loving, (D)too.
It (B/Eb)really seemed impossible
To love (Em)him as much as (C)you.
Yes, I could (Am7)clearly see, the lo(Bm7)ve I'd need,
(Am7)Couldn't come from (Dsus4)me.

Chorus 1
I would (Em)need a (F#m)special (G)love
For (C/G)you and for your little (G)one,
A (D)caring father's love,
As (C)if he were my (G)own.
That's (G/F)something only God could do,
To (C/D)make all of our dreams come true.
He can (Cm/Eb)take our separate lives
And make us (C/D)one,
He can make us a fa(G)mily.(D/G)-(C/G)

Verse 2
The (A)moments we thr(E/A)ee shared(D/A)
Helped us see how much we cared,
Each (Bm7)day that passed just seemed to bring us
(Esus4)Closer than the last.(Esus2/D)
I (C#m7)watched him as he walked,
(D) his little smile when he (Asus2/C#)talked,
I could (Bm7)see the things I loved in you
Re(Esus4)flecting in him, (E)too.
As I (C#/F)looked into his eyes,
I be(F#m)gan to rea(D)lize,
That this (Bm7)love so special G(C#m)od was giving,
He was (Bm7)making us o(Esus4)ne.

Chorus 2
Oh, we (F#m)need that (E/G#)special (A)love
That (D/A)God has for the little (A)ones.
A (E)parent's tender love,
As (D/E)if they are our (A)own.
Let's (A/G)show His love in all we do,
To (D/F#)make all of our dreams come true.
He can (Cm/F)take our separate lives
And make them (Dsus2/E)one,
He can make us a fa(A)mily.

(E/A)-(D/A)-(F#m7)-(Esus2)-(Dsus2)

Verse 3
And (A)now as time's go(E/A)ne by,
(D/A)I love this love I feel inside.
He's (Bm7)come to be as much my own
As (Esus2/G#)any one we'll have.
And (C#msus2)though he wasn't "mine,"
(Dsus2)With the passage of ti(Asus2/C#)me,
I've (Bm7)learned to love and understand
This little (D/E)one who calls me "Dad."

Chorus 3
Oh, we (F#m)need that (E/G#)special (A)love
That (D/A)God has for the little (A)ones.
A (E)parent's tender love,
For (D/E)each one of His (A)own.
That's (A/G)something only God could do,
To (D/F#)make all of our dreams come true.
'Cause He (Cm/F)took our separate lives
And make us (Dsus2/E)one,
He's made us a fa(A)mily.

(E/A)-(D/A)-(F#m7)-(Esus2)-(Dsus2)
