I'll Sing for You

V6

[Intro - Soft Music Box, Gentle Piano] [Verse 1] There's A Giant By The Fire, With A Thousand Little Gears, And A Hundred Shiny Buttons, And A Heart That's Full Of Tears. He's Taller Than The Doorway, But He's Gentle As Can Be, And When I Sit Beside Him, He Makes A Place For Me. [Verse 2] He Told Me Of His Family, And How They Used To Sing, Of Songs That Filled The Mountains, And The Joy That Music Brings. But Now His Songs Are Sleeping, And His Silver Bells Are Still, 'Cause Every Time He Hears Them, He Remembers Who He Misses Still. [Pre-Chorus - Soft, Tender] I Don't Know How To Fix It, Or Make The Sadness Go, But Mama Taught Me Something, And It's The Only Thing I Know... [Chorus - Sweet, Simple Lullaby] You Don't Have To Sing Tonight, I'll Sing A Song For You. Just Like Mama Sings For Me, When I'm Feeling Blue. You Don't Have To Hide Your Heart, Or Tell Me What To Do. Just Sit With Me Beside The Fire, And I'll Sing For You. [Verse 3] I Know A Little Lullaby, My Mama Sings At Night, When Thunder Shakes My Window, And I Hold My Blanket Tight. I Sometimes Get The Words Wrong, And I Sometimes Miss A Note, But Mama Says It Doesn't Matter, When A Song Comes From The Heart. [Pre-Chorus - Gentle Strings Enter] And Maybe I'm Not Very Big, And Maybe You're So Tall, But Even Great Big Giants Need Someone After All. [Chorus - Warm, Tender] You Don't Have To Sing Tonight, I'll Sing A Song For You. Just Like Mama Sings For Me, When I'm Feeling Blue. You Don't Have To Hide Your Heart, Or Tell Me What To Do. Just Sit With Me Beside The Fire, And I'll Sing For You. [Bridge - Piano And Music Box, Intimate] And When The Rain Came Falling, And Thunder Filled The Sky, I Sat Beside My Giant, Trying Very Hard Not To Cry. Then Somewhere In His Clockwork, A Little Silver Bell Began To Play The Lullaby That I Remembered Well. He Didn't Sing A Thousand Songs, Or Make The Mountains Ring. He Played One Little Melody, And That Was Everything. [Final Chorus - Soft Strings, Emotional But Restrained] You Don't Have To Sing Tonight, I'll Sing A Song For You. And When I'm Scared Of Thunder, You Can Play It For Me Too. We Don't Have To Make The Sad Go, Or Pretend That It Isn't True. We Can Sit Here By The Fire, And I'll Sing For You. [Outro - Almost Whispered, Music Box Fading] Mama Sings When I Am Sad, And Now I Sing For You. And If Your Heart Gets Lonely, You Know Just What To Do. Come Sit With Me Beside The Fire... I'll Sing For You. [End - One Delicate Clockwork Chime]
