D         F#m             D
Hello, my son, welcome to earth
D                 F#m                          D
You may not be my last but you'll always be my first
A                      G                 Bm                        A
Wish I'd done this ten years ago but how could I know, how could I know
                       D   F#m  G  A D
That the answer was so easy
G                  A                            D     G
I've been told you measure a man by how much he loves
       G                         D                      G                   A 
When I hold you, I treasure each moment I spend on this earth, under heave above
Gm                      D             Bm
Grandfather always said God's a fisherman
    G     A               D 
And now I know the reason why

            D                      Bm
And if some times daddy has to go away
             D                      Bm  
Please don't think it means I don't love you
          D                           Bm 
Oh, how I wish I could be there everyday
               D                           Bm
Cause when I'm gone it makes me so sad and blue
            D                                  Bm
And holding you is the greatest love I've ever known
     A     
When I get home it breaks my heart
G                                        A     D  Bm  D  Bm
Seeing how much you've grown all on your own

D           Bm           D               Bm
Hearing you cry makes me cry, it made me cry
           A                     Bm
Hearing me cry A thousand miles away
      D                            Bm
Every cry (greatest love I've ever known)
