I've watched you grow into a young man
From the little boy I brought into this world
As you head off on your own, so independent ... today
You'll follow where your heart is leading
While I see how hard you try to find your way
Some dreams will come true for you while other dreams just fade... away
There are so many things I could say
But you'll still do it your own way
As for me, I have learned the hard way
So listen to my sage advice, and you won't have to pay the price
Get out and find a girl and love her
She'll be the one that stops you in your tracks
The one who'll make your life feel so much richer ... One day
There are so many things I could say
But you'll still do it your own way
To love and be loved is the key
So listen to my sage advice, and you won't have to pay the price
Spend lots of time with friends and love them
Share your hopes and dreams, and cast out fear
These special bonds will see you through the hard times... always
And when my time on Earth is over
I know you'll hear me whisper in your ear
Remember all the words I've said to you ...
Today...Today
