I got a gift so precious just a few years back,
True beauty bore me a son for who I created the track,
Looking at you now, so young and full of questions,
And I know it’s in my hands to teach you life’s lessons,
Because I wanna see you grow up to be the best,
So I’ll do my bit to separate you from the rest,
But the first thing you need to see is education,
One look at your face and I know my motivation,
To see you grow up and become a superstar,
Hold you up high and show the world who you are,
I know you’re capable of bringing so much to this life,
So much joy in my heart just to see my boy and my wife,
See I know one day you’ll grow up and leave home,
And it’ll feel like I’ve been left totally alone,
Letting you go will be the hardest thing I’ll ever do,
But I know nothing can break this bond between us two,
It’s difficult to prepare you for what’s coming next,
Years of awkward attraction to the opposite sex,
A piece of advice about the females on this earth,
Never let a single one make you doubt your worth,
And sometimes though it might be hard to believe,
You will find the woman that makes you want to achieve,
Because I found one so amazing in your mother,
And I realised that I couldn’t have lived with any other,
So when you meet the girl that knocks you off your feet,
Don’t hesitate to show her that you’re nothing but sweet,
When the lady comes along that makes you get down on one knee,
You’ll show her that chivalry isn’t just something that ‘used to be’
I’ll watch you put that ring on her finger, and look on with pride,
Wipe away a tear from my eye and move quietly to the side,
To let you take your rightful place on centre stage,
Knowing that my baby boy has truly come of age,
