Waking up to hear a little boy's
|
Voice in the morning,
|
Little footsteps brush across the floor,
|
And you open the door.
|
Just beneath my gaze I see your face.
|
|
Just like clockwork you reach
|
Towards my glass of water
|
Upon the night stand, and carefully
|
You hand it up to me.
|
|
I'll be by your side, father and son,
|
And in time you'll understand
|
When you grow up to be a man, Ian.
|
|
Gentle and strong,
|
Believe in the words, your song.
|
Gentle and strong,
|
Believe in the words, your song.
|
|
I want to know you, want to show you I care.
|
And I want to lead you, want to be your friend.
|
|
Gentle and strong,
|
Believe in the words, your song.
|
Gentle and strong,
|
Believe in the words, your song.
|
|
I want to know you, want to show you I care.
|
And I want to lead you, want to be your friend.
|
|
I'll be by your side, father and son,
|
And in time you'll understand
|
When you grow up to be a man, Ian.
|
|
Gentle and strong,
|
Believe in the words, your song.
|
Gentle and strong,
|
Believe in the words, your song.
|
|
I want to know you, want to show you I care.
|
And I want to lead you, want to be your friend.
