G
Peering out of tiny eyes
Bm/F#
The grubby hands that gripped the rail
F
Wiped the window clean of frost
C/E
G
As the morning air laid on the latch
A whistle awakened someone there
Next door to the nursery just down the hall
A strange new sound you never heard before
A strange new sound that makes boys explore
Tread neat so small those
little feet
Amid the morning his small heart beats
So much excitement yesterday
That must be rewarded must be displayed
Am
D
D/C
Large hands lift him through the air
Bm7 Esus4
E
Excited eyes contain him there
C
G
The eyes of those he loves and knows
F6
Dsus4 D7
But what's this extra bed just here
His puzzled head tipped to one side
Amazement swims in those bright green eyes
Glancing down upon this thing
That make strange sounds, strange sounds that sing
In those silent happy
seconds
That surround the sound of this event
A parent smile is made in moments
They have made for you a friend
Am
Dsus4 D
And all you ever learned from them
Bm7
Esus4 E
Until you grew much older
Am
C
Did not compare with when they said
G Bm
Em
G7
This is your brand new brother
Cmaj7+9 D6
G D/F#
This is your brand new brother
Cmaj7/E Dsus4 D G
This is your brand new brother
