[G]

You've got some catching up to do

We've had this family for awhile

Along comes someone new

We're happy just to meet you

And I'll do my best to teach you

Everything you need to fit right in

Chorus:

I'll try to get the best of you

As you watch what I say and do

I love you truly my son

I've never had a son before

A little version of your dad

And someday so much more

I've got good parts and bad parts

I pray you got my best parts

And I'm sorry for the rest

Chorus

I will fail you, a lot

I'll get angry, I'll be thoughtless

And humble I am not

But my love for you will grow

More than you could ever know

Until you have one of your own

Chorus

i'll do my best to say and do what i say i'll do

don't take my word
