Hello, my son Welcome to earth You may not be my last But you'll always be my first Wish I'd done this ten years ago But how could I know How could I know That the answer was so easy I've been told you measure a man By how much he loves When I hold you I treasure each moment I spend On this earth, under heaven above Grandfather always said God's a fisherman And now I know the reason why And if some times daddy has to go away
Please don't think it means I don't love you Oh, how I wish I could be there everyday Cause when I'm gone it makes me so sad and blue And holding you is the greatest love I've ever known When I get home it breaks my heart Seeing how much you've grown all on your own Hearing you cry makes me cry It made me cry Hearing me cry A thousand miles away Every cry (greatest love I've ever known) (ever known)
