My Son – Gary Puckett & The Union GapBy And with his first breathHis mother diedI alone was thereTo hear him cryThis way my only childMy sonSarah chose his nameTwas BenjaminMy sonRed was his hairAnd green his eyesLooking up at dadThree times his sizeFirst day of grade schoolI walked him thereLooking through the tearsOf pride, I stare at my sonI was his fatherHis closest friendNow our house was blessedWith two grown menAt twenty he told meThat he could seeHow I tried to beA familyFor my sonOh, how I miss himHere with meReminiscing how it used to beHere in my handThey gave to meMedals my boy wonFor braveryMy sonOh, oh, ho, my son www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
