No Longer Superman

Helped my son move into college Just the other day It was then that I had realized What took my breath away No longer was I his hero I've become more of a friend I wont lie I still miss the days When he reached to hold my hand And with a tear in my eye it hit me then....... I'm no longer superman Though he looks up to me It's not into my eyes He's much taller than me now It's more a sense of pride He knows that I love him And now I'm his biggest fan It hurts to know it's time to let go I'm no longer superman A few years later Jr came home With some news that changed our lives His wife was due in 8 months He said he needed some advice I said son you wont need a Cape Or drive a fancy car Just be there for your kid To help mend their broken heart Enjoy it all for what it's worth For as long as you can Cause one day soon you'll get the news Your no longer superman They'll look up to you But it wont be for your eyes Just make sure their hearts Are filled with a sense of pride Make sure they know you love them And that you're their biggest fan It'll hurt I know, when the truth unfolds That you're no longer superman Every hero sees his day You just hope to pass the torch The course of life gets crazy I told him on the porch Son I dont have too long And as he reached to take my hand He said dad you know you'll always be My superman With a tear in his eye his son realized He's no longer superman
