From the first time that I looked in your eyes
I knew only happiness and bliss.
Throughout your howls and your cries,
There wasn't a thing that I could dismiss.

Oh those eyes that beheld so much
Were softly fixed on mine.
Those cries were soothed with my touch
Everything was fine.

Your mother stood over my shoulder
Watching us in content.
Your eyes, your stare that could smolder
Or make me want to repent…

Everything that I had betrayed
In the life that you never knew.
You and your mother had me saved
And for that, I am thanking you.

So, my son, you sleep with innocence,
As we gaze upon your face.
Oh lord, I can see my resonance…
But we'll take this at your pace.
