Frank Patterson - My Son

Frank with his wife Eileen O'Grady and their son Eanan.

My Son

son, you were the seed of life in me
And now, I can′t believe the man I see
With pride, I watched you grow up
You wanted so much to change the world for me

My son, you gave my simple life its key
Through you I see God's love and mystery
You build up my life with your sweet music
It′s written in the song, this melody belongs to you and me my son.

Son, I taught you everything I know For soon, one day I'll have to let you go I would gladly die, if it saved you from the heartache, the fear and all the bad breaks that tear your world apart,

My son, you faced the truth and you stood tall, But now we face the hardest truth of all, I must say goodbye,
but you must go on living
And when my life is through I'll always be with you My one and only son. I watch you now with pride What more is there to life Than you and I my son?
