So much has changed
Only the faces are the same
So much time has passed
Only the good shall last

And stand up next to me
Make me proud of what I am
Grow up in my eyes, you’ll see
You’re a reflection of this man

My pride and joy
My new born baby boy
The tears fall slowly
How proud you’ve made me.

All along the way
I’ll be by your side
Every single day
You’ll be on my mind

We’re both growing older
We’re both learning lives
You’re a reflection of myself
In my open eyes

I’m not sure what to do
I don’t know what to say
But I’m proud of you
In every single way

My pride and joy
My new born baby boy
The tears fall slowly
How proud you’ve made me.

So many years gone by
So much time elapsed
Tears form in my eye
And I just collapse

I was never one for goodbye
I was never sure to speak
I can’t believe I let you die
I can’t believe I was that weak.

My pride and joy
My new born baby boy
The tears fall slowly
How proud you’ve made me.

They said it was unexpected
They said they couldn’t have known
There’s no way you should be dead
And all your chances blown.

I can’t believe it ends so quick
I can’t just turn and walk away
I’m standing here, but it makes me sick
You were just born yesterday.

And just know that all along
You would have made me so damn proud
It always seems that this is wrong
I break down in the middle of a crown

My pride and joy
My new born baby boy
The tears fall slowly
How proud you’ve made me.

And I’ll never know your smile
I’ll never know that you’re fine
Never hear you call me daddy
But you’re always on my mind.

I don’t know why you had to go
Don’t know why they chose you
And all I’ll ever know
And all I’ll ever do

My pride and joy
My new born baby boy
The tears fall slowly
How proud you’ve made me.

I was never one for goodbye
I was never one to cry
I’ll never know why
They took you from my side.

My pride and joy
My new born baby boy
The tears fall slowly
How proud you’ve made me.
