Lyrics
I held you up to look outside and told you that it's yours
Named you after me and your grandfather's name is George
Grandmother's name Maria
I wish they were here to meet you
Know they greeted you with open arms
We just couldn't see it
Beautiful baby boy, I can't tell you how proud I am
To call myself your father, you make me a better man
The way you look up to me with those piercing blue eyes
I hope I never let you know, Lord knows that I try
I can see your passion, your independence and your resilience
High step into a room, boy you love to make an entrance
I see the light in eyes, never lose that glow
Don't let them take that shine, no matter where you go
When you opened your eyes, you opened mine
Everything I thought mattered is all behind me
Before you, I went through life so blindly
You came when I needed you, that's God's timing
When you opened your eyes, you opened mine
Everything I thought mattered is all behind me
Before you, I went through life so blindly
You came when I needed you, that's God's timing
I know the day will come when I hold you for the last time
And I'll be calling you asking if it's a bad time
You'll forget about daddy giving you bath time
And jumping from stairs won't be your favorite past time
The time will come that you won't sleep in my bed
Get tired of toys and I won't clean up your mess
The time will come when you get yourself dressed
I love to watch you grow, but it's also what I dread
My little man, just know I love you more than life
And I can't wait to watch you love and grow and have a wife
Have children of your own, maybe ask me for advice
Don't forget your old man in this busy life
When you opened your eyes, you opened mine
Everything I thought mattered is all behind me
Before you, I went through life so blindly
You came when I needed you, that's God's timing
When you opened your eyes, you opened mine
Everything I thought mattered is all behind me
