1. Mommies and daddies always believe,
           F           C           Dm       G
    that their little angels are special indeed.
         Am              C       Dm    F
    And you could grow up to be anything,
         C          F        C     F
    but who would imagine a king?
       C           F           Am            Em
1. A shepherd, or teacher is what you could be,
        F       C         Dm          G
    or maybe a fisherman out on the sea.
        Am       C         Dm         F
    Or maybe a carpenter building things,
         C          F        C
    but who would imagine a king?
     Dm                        C          Am
    It was so clear when the wise men arrived,
             Dm           F            C
    and the angels were singing your name,
                    Dm        F                C         
    that the world would be different 'cause you were alive,
                 F             Dm          F  G
    that's what heaven stood still to proclaim.
    C          F           Am Em
3. One day an angel said quietly,
          F              C               Dm       G
    that soon he would bring something special to me,
           Am          C        Dm              F
    and of all of the wonderful gifts he could bring,
     C          F       C          Dm
    who would imagine, who could imagine,
     C          F        C
    who would imagine a king?
