VERSE 1.
He was a bright, little bundle
A planet all his own
I named him after my dad
From his very first smile
He opened my heart to new feelings
He had all of his fingers
And all of his toes
They were the answer to my prayers
And I bless the day
I began the journey
With my new son
CHORUS
From the bottom of my heart
I will love and inspire
And show him the sweetness of sharing
Your passions and desires
With my new son
VERSE 2.
He was my first child
And I hope he won’t be last
Yeah, the Lord’s been good to me
And I’ll return the favor
By caring for this smiling little baby
When I wonder how I’ll love my children equally
I see the answer in his individuality
And I bless the day
I became companions
With my new son
REPEAT CHORUS
From the bottom of my heart
I will love and inspire
And show him the sweetness of sharing
Your passions and desires
With my new son
Musical BRIDGE
REPEAT CHORUS
