about

I wrote this song when my son was born. It is all about not knowing what to expect but loving it anyway!

lyrics

I never knew what life'd be like with you
And I never knew how hard I'd try for you
But everything changed when you arrived and I knew:
You're my boy.

Those eyes that draw me into a strange new world where you
Completely rely on the things we do, you'll see
A world of possibilities laid before you and still:
You're my boy.

And how can I explain what it was that began
The very first time you were placed in my hands
From your first cry, with all my heart, I love you
My boy.

With every passing day I'm learning more and more
Of the person you are now and who you'll be one day
You're growing and you're changing but one thing remains:
You'll be forever my boy.

And how can I explain what it was that began
The very first time you were placed in my hands
From your first cry, with all my heart, I love you
My boy.

You laugh when I laugh
You get angry when you're hungry
You're loud and you love your mum

In all of these things
That make you who you are I see
Well you're just like me...

And how can I explain what it was that began
When you were knitted together with delicate hands
Your Father in heaven who made you, you
Will hold you.

And He'll say,
Just like me,
You're my boy.
