I even miss you when I'm with you
I watch you as you sleep
I'm happy when the day is done
But kid you make me weep
And even though the sun goes down
And the day must end
Can't wait to hear my son, my pal
My best friend laughing again
Though I can't stop the wind and the rain and the planes
From flying when you just want to go
I will use everything that I know
And I got to convince time to just move slow
And every time I worry 'bout the day you'll go away
I wanna say
I wish you could stay the way you are forever
Just me and you in a teepee built for two
But you're gonna grow
So let's hold our time together
And through your eyes it is brand new skies for me
Watching my son rise
(Ooh ooh oh)
Watching my son rise
(Aah, such a sweet surprise)
Watching my son rise
I try to see you when your older
And who your gonna be
I hope you'll have the strength to find
The truth inside like me
I'll always be your shoulder
I'll never disappear
I'll try my best as long as I am here
Though I can't stop the wind and the rain and the planes
From flying when you just want to go
I will use everything that I know
And I got to convince time to just move slow
And every time I worry 'bout the day you'll go away, I wanna say
(Say, say, say)
I wish you could stay the way you are forever
(Stay this way forever)
Just me and you in a teepee built for two
But you're gonna grow
So let's hold our time together
(Hold this time forever)
And through your eyes it is brand new skies for me
Watching my son rise
(Ooh ooh oh)
Watching my son rise
(Aah, such a sweet surprise)
Watching my son rise
And every time I worry 'bout the day you'll go away
I wanna say
I wish you could stay the way you are forever
Just me and you in a teepee built for two
But you're gonna grow
So let's hold our time together
And through your eyes it is brand new skies for me
Watching my son rise
(Ooh ooh oh)
Watching my son rise
(Aah, such a sweet surprise)
Watching my son rise
So let's begin, my friend, Ethan
(Watching my son rise)
Ethan (Ooh)
