A#
That's all I wanted
                              G#
Something special, something sacred
         A#
In your eyes
For just one moment
                G#
To be bold and naked
At your side
F#                             G#
Sometimes I think that you'll never
       A#
Understand me
F#                   G#
Maybe this time is forever
        F
Say it can be

That's all you wanted
Somethin' 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
(Understand me)
But somethin' tells me together,
we'd be happy, whoa baby

Chorus:
(Baby)
A#
I will be your father figure
(Oh baby)
Put your tiny hand in mine
(I'd love to)
G#
I will be your preacher teacher
(Be your daddy)
Anything you have in mind
(It would make me)
A#
I will be your father figure
(Very happy)
I have had enough of crime
(Please let me)
G#
I will be the one who loves you
                  A#
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 eyes shine
This time I think that my lover understands me
(Understands me)
If we have faith in each other
then we can be strong

Chorus

F#               G#
If you are the desert
             F#
I'll be the sea
F#           G#
If you ever hunger
            F#
Hunger for me
F#                G#
Whatever you ask for
                  F F#
That's what I'll be
              G#                       F#
So when you remember the ones who have lied
                    G#
Who said that they cared?
                          F#
But then laughed as you cried
           G#
Beautiful Darling
F
Don't think of me
                    A#   G#
Because all I ever wanted
              A#            G#
It's in your eyes baby, baby
                A#
And love can't lie, no...
   F#              G#              A#
(Greet me with the eyes of a child)
                            F#
My love is always tell me to.
                          G#
(Heaven is a kiss and a smile)
          F
Just hold on, hold on
                        A#
I won't let you go, my baby

Chorus

A#
I will be your father
G#
I will be your preacher
A#
I will be your daddy
G#
I will be the one who loves you
                  A#
until the end of time
