He throws a ball, or runs to hide He seems so tall, a smile so wide And every day it's a surprise how fast he grows He bangs his head, or scrapes the knee Loses a tooth, and turns to me Our love made real before our eyes, it never slows And it's plain for any eye to see That there's a kid on earth who'll look to me To be a father, or a king A man who can teach him what it means to share What it means to have somebody there We have to let him know, love doesn't fade Look what we made I'll wake each day, just like before Fix him some food, knock on his door I'll be the first one that he sees when he awakes He'll brush his teeth, and comb his hair While I pick out what he should wear I know it won't all be a breeze, we'll make mistakes And it's plain for any eye to see This little person made from him and me Is still amazing, does he know That he holds the secrets hidden in his stare That will always keep his father there We have to let him know, love doesn't fade Look what we made And so I'll take him to the playground, movies, football, Disneyland Somehow show him I love him, but then he'll always know I love him Failed him, broke his family off Stole a smile from his mother's mouth Every day for the rest of his life He falls asleep upon my knee He reaches out, he calls to me So many things about this boy move me to tears He holds his dad for all he's worth He clings so tight for all the earth And I'll make sure he knows with us there are no fears And it's plain for any eye to see That he took just the best of her and me How did he do that? Does he know his parents are not the angels they could be They're just trying to make a family I have to let him know, love doesn't fade Look what we made Look what we made
