I Want a Son
A Father's Dream: Embracing the Joys of Parenthood Through Kenny Rogers' Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
I want a son
I desire to have a son.
Someone I can blame for turning grey
I want someone to be responsible for the aging or challenges I face.
To share my name, to share my days
I wish for a son to carry my name and share my life.
To share the things I've earned
A son to inherit the achievements and experiences I've gained.
The lessons that I've learned along the way
Expressing the desire for a son to learn from the lessons I've acquired on life's journey.
He'd have a friend and we'd have fun
Envisioning the camaraderie a son would bring and the enjoyment they would share.
I love to laugh and I would love to have a son.
Expressing the joy of laughter and the love for having a son.
I want a girl
Expressing the desire to have a daughter.
Twirling round the room in pink and blue
Imagining a daughter dancing in the room wearing pink and blue attire.
To count on me, to see her through
Wanting a daughter who relies on the speaker and looks to them for support.
Who'd worry when I'm late
Desiring a daughter who worries about the speaker's well-being when they are late.
And tell me that I'm great when it's not true
Expecting a daughter to praise and appreciate the speaker even when it may not be entirely true.
She'd have a friend and we'd have fun
Anticipating the companionship and enjoyment a daughter would bring.
I'd love a daughter just as I would love a son.
Expressing the love for a daughter similar to the love for a son.
I wanna care
Expressing the desire to care for someone.
I wanna wonder where they are
Expressing a wish to know the whereabouts of the son and daughter.
I wanna see that they go farther than me
Expressing the hope that the children surpass the speaker in achievements.
And carry on, the things I love, when I'm gone.
Desiring the continuation of the speaker's passions and interests by the children after the speaker is no longer present.
Forgetting me
Expressing a willingness to be forgotten for the well-being and happiness of the children.
I'd be good for them, I really would
Asserting that the speaker would be beneficial for the children.
They'd have someone who understood
Believing that the speaker would understand the children in a profound way.
Who'd always be around
Promising constant availability and support from the speaker.
And never let them down, I never could.
Expressing an inability to let the children down.
He'd have a friend and we'd have fun
Reiterating the expectation of friendship and enjoyment with a son.
She'd have a friend, we'd all be one
Affirming the expectation of companionship and fun with a daughter as well.
I'd love to have a girl
Expressing the love for having a daughter.
Or I would love to have a son...
Reiterating the love for having a son.
