about

IT'S BEEN GOOD TO GROW WITH YOU
(a song about becoming a father for the first time)

Before your birthday, I learned to wait
I felt you kicking when you woke your mom up late
as you grew bigger it made me smile
to think that I would see your eyes in just a little while

In just 2 months you were sleeping through the night
happy and hungry, your eyes were full of light
soon you were talking and I was all ears
I still remember your first words
I still recall your tears

It's been good to grow with you
it's been good to teach you things
it's been good to see your goodness grow
It's been good to grow with you
it's been good to teach you about Truth
it's been good to see your goodness grow

Through you I can see things that might have been
I can travel back in time again
laugh distant laughs and shout like a child
and remember how big people smiled

In school, one time, you were withdrawn
You sat by yourself, you chose to be alone
"It was boring..." you explained
When I was your age, I, too, disengaged

Tonight's Mom's out, and your sister, too
I guess that leaves just me and you
Spaghetti and ice cream then some old cartoons
It's been good to grow with you

It's been good to grow with you
it's been good to teach you about God
it's been good to see your goodness grow
It's been good to grow with you
it's been good to teach you the truth
it's been good to see your goodness grow
