G Bm
Peering out of tiny eyes, The grubby hands that gripped the rail
F C G
Wiped the window clean of frost, As the morning air laid on the latch
G Bm
A whistle awakened someone there, Next door to the nursery just down the hall
F C G
A strange new sound you never heard before, a strange new sound that makes boys explore
G Bm
Tread neat so small those little feet, Amid the morning his small heart beats
F C G
So much excitement yesterday, That must be rewarded must be displayed
C D
Large hands lift him through the air
Bm B7
Excited eyes contain him there
C G
The eyes of those he loves and knows
F C D
But what's this extra bed just here
G Bm
His puzzled head tipped to one side, Amazement swims in those bright green eyes
F C D G
Glancing down upon this thing, That makes strange sounds, strange sounds that sing
G Bm
In those silent happy seconds, That surround the sound of this event
F C G
A parent smile is made in moments, They have made for you a friend
C D
And all you ever learned from them
Bm B7
Until you grew much older
C
Did not compare with when they said
G D G
This is your brand new brother
C D G
This is your brand new brother
C D G
This is your brand new brother
