Sweet Son, from the moment my eyes looked upon you My love was multiplied by two The shape of my heart was transforming Creating the path in front of you The moment, I heard your first heart beat My soul danced and knew what to do Hold you close as your life is unfolding Growing up looks so good on you Yes, growing up looks wonderful on you Sweet Son, your love for adventure was tuggin' Your wander-filled eyes made me smile In a flash, you were twelve and then 23 Slow down won't you sit for a while The moment, I heard your first heart beat My soul danced and knew what to do Hold you close as your life is unfolding Growing up looks so good on you Yes, growing up looks wonderful on you Sweet Son, today, as my hands wrap around yours This dance is our time to slow down When I let go and your future unfolds I hope you remember the sound This moment, the rhythm of my heart beat With this dance, I know just what to do Hold you close a short time, in this moment Growing up looks so good on you And your wife looks wonderful with you
