My son, you were the seed of life in me And now, I can't believe the man I see With pride, I watched you grow up You wanted so much to change the world for me My son, you gave my simple life its key Through you I see God's love and mystery You build up my life with your sweet music It's written in the song, this melody belongs To you and me my son My son, I taught you everything I know For soon, one day I'll have to let you go I would gladly die, if it saved you from the heartache The fear and all the bad breaks That tear your world apart My son, you faced the truth and you stood tall But now we face the hardest truth of all I must say goodbye, but you must go on living And when my life is throughm I'll always be with you My one and only son I watch you now with pride What more is there to life Than you and me my son?
