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 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 that God was a fisherman Now I know the reason why And if sometimes Daddy has to go away Please don't think that it means that I don't love you Oh how I wish I could be there every day Because when I'm gone it makes me so sad and blue Holding you is the greatest love I've ever known And when I get home it breaks my heart To see how much you've grown All on your own Can you hear me crying... from a thousand miles away
