Welcome to Earth

Hello, my son
Welcome to earth
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 this earth, under heaven above

Grandfather always said God's a fisherman
And now I know the reason why

And if some times daddy has to go away
But please don't think that 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
Oh, when I get home it breaks my heart
Seeing how much you've grown, all on your own, oh

Oh, hearing that
Made me cry
It made me cry
Hearing me cry
A thousand miles away
Every cry
(Greatest love I've ever known)
(Oh, ever known)
