The Moment
The Transformative Dance of Parenthood
Lyrics
Sweet Son, from the moment my eyes looked upon you
Sweet Son, expressing affection and connection to the child from the beginning.
My love was multiplied by two
The love for the son intensified, emphasizing a profound emotional connection.
The shape of my heart was transforming
Heart transformation symbolizes a deep emotional change upon becoming a parent.
Creating the path in front of you
Creating a path for the son, suggesting guidance and support in his journey.
The moment, I heard your first heart beat
Joy and excitement at the moment of discovering the child's heartbeat.
My soul danced and knew what to do
Soul dancing signifies an intuitive and joyful response to the child's existence.
Hold you close as your life is unfolding
Closeness and support as the child's life unfolds and develops.
Growing up looks so good on you
Appreciation for the positive changes seen as the son grows up.
Yes, growing up looks wonderful on you
Reiteration of the positive view of the son's growth and maturation.
Sweet Son, your love for adventure was tuggin'
Acknowledging the son's adventurous spirit and love for exploration.
Your wander-filled eyes made me smile
The son's curious and adventurous eyes bring joy to the parent.
In a flash, you were twelve and then 23
Noting the swift passage of time as the son transitions from 12 to 23.
Slow down won't you sit for a while
A plea for the son to slow down and cherish the moments of life.
The moment, I heard your first heart beat
Revisiting the joy of hearing the son's heartbeat, a nostalgic moment.
My soul danced and knew what to do
The parent's soul still responds with joy to the son's life unfolding.
Hold you close as your life is unfolding
Continued closeness as the son's life journey progresses.
Growing up looks so good on you
Expressing admiration for the positive changes seen as the son matures.
Yes, growing up looks wonderful on you
Reiteration of the positive view of the son's growth and maturation.
Sweet Son, today, as my hands wrap around yours
A current moment of closeness, symbolized by hands wrapped around each other.
This dance is our time to slow down
A shared dance as a pause in the son's busy life, a moment to connect.
When I let go and your future unfolds
Letting go symbolizes allowing the son to navigate his own future.
I hope you remember the sound
Hoping the son remembers the emotional connection in moments of independence.
This moment, the rhythm of my heart beat
Emphasizing the importance of the current moment with the son.
With this dance, I know just what to do
Confidence in knowing how to respond and support the son in his journey.
Hold you close a short time, in this moment
Awareness of the transient nature of holding the son close in this particular moment.
Growing up looks so good on you
Reiteration of the positive changes seen as the son continues to mature.
And your wife looks wonderful with you
A positive remark about the son's choice of a life partner.
