CONGRATULATIONS

Feels like yesterday…

Congratulations you made it through.. I wrote a song last year for your 16 b-day. Now look at you ..

Seventeen years done flew right by,

Blink of an eye, now you standin’ tall, eye to eye

From them late-night cries to your first bike ride,

Now you chasin’ dreams, got that fire inside

Seventeen years of joy and pain,

Sunshine days and a little rain

Watched you grow, watched you change,

Now you steppin’ out, whole new lane

And I try not to let these tears fall down,

But I see my baby in that cap and gown…

Seventeen years… you are my whole world

Seventeen years… watched you grow and learn

Now it’s your time, yeah it’s your turn,

Spread your wings, go and fly, don’t look back, just burn the skies.

Seventeen years… I gave you Part of me..

Seventeen years… congratulations you made it through.

No matter how far, no matter where you go,

You’ll always be my baby boy…

You will always have a place to come home .. Come home.. come home .. too.

You will always be Daddy’s baby, even though you grow up big and strong..

Skipped a grade, yeah you had a plan

Smart and strong, yeah you did it fast,

Proud don’t even say it right,

You my son, you my light

From them little shoes to them big dreams.

Look at you… yeah you made me proud

Proud of the man you are meant to be ..

Pround your my son ...

Proud to be right by your side ...

Stage lights glow, I’m in the crowd,

Looking at you shine..

Tryna hold it in trying to not brake down.. as I watch our life past before our eyes..

Seventeen years… you are my whole world

Seventeen years… watched you grow and learn

Now it’s your time, yeah it’s your turn,

Spread your wings, go and fly, don’t look back, just burn the skies.

Seventeen years… I gave you Part of me..

Seventeen years… congratulations you made it through

I remember holdin’ you…

Now I’m lettin’ you go…

But you ain’t ever leavin’ me,

Not in my soul…

New life, new road, new dreams to chase,

But you still got your dad in every step you take…

Seventeen years… yeah we made it through,

Every moment, every lesson, I gave to you...
