Sweet Son, from the moment my eyes looked upon you
My love was multiplied by two
The shape of my heart was transforming
Creating the path in front of you
The moment, I heard your first heart beat
My soul danced and knew what to do
Hold you close as your life is unfolding
Growing up looks so good on you
Yes, growing up looks wonderful on you
Sweet Son, your love for adventure was tuggin'
Your wander-filled eyes made me smile
In a flash, you were twelve and then 23
Slow down won't you sit for a while
The moment, I heard your first heart beat
My soul danced and knew what to do
Hold you close as your life is unfolding
Growing up looks so good on you
Yes, growing up looks wonderful on you
Sweet Son, today, as my hands wrap around yours
This dance is our time to slow down
When I let go and your future unfolds
I hope you remember the sound
This moment, the rhythm of my heart beat
With this dance, I know just what to do
Hold you close a short time, in this moment
Growing up looks so good on you
And your wife looks wonderful with you
