  • 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) Writer/s: John Sturgill Simpson
