Song lyrics

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 earth, under heaven above.
Grandfather always said, ‘God's a fisherman.'
And now I know the reason why.

And if sometimes 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...
