Father's Day

As you gaze in awe at your precious new son
As you sit helpless through the night
As you kiss away his tears
As your heart overflows with pride and joy 
Remember there once was another young man who felt the same too

Each moment on the sidelines to cheer him on 
Each victory and each sorrow, you share 
Each night filled with worry
Each day filled with joy
Enjoy each special moment between a father and his son

As you stand proud at his side 
When he says “I do”,
When you have done all that you can
And your heart breaks,’ cause he says you’re no good
Remember that other man too

Cause he is your father
And it’s his father’s day too.
