Lyrics

Look At You Now

I’ve had a secret admiration for you all this time
That started on the day you were born
My sweetest inspiration since I first looked in your eyes
As I held you son, that early frosty morn’
Look at you now
You became a man of honor I can call on any night
Look at you now
Now the table’s turned and I have
learned to take my son’s advice
How I love the way you’ve grown
You did it on your own
Look at you, my son
Look at you now.

I’d be lying by omission if I said that all went fine
‘Cause I know that sometimes fighting was so hard
But you made your own decisions and you turned out loyal and kind
I love you, son- just stay the way you are…
Look at you now
You became a man of honor I can call on any night
Look at you now
Now the table’s turned and I have learned to take my son’s advice
How I love the way you’ve grown
You did it on your own
Look at you, my son
Look at you now.

Maybe I’m an old childish fool
But you taught me some life lessons they don’t teach in school…

Now you’re towering above me, embracing me with care
A father and a husband good as gold
I’m grateful you forgive me, and I know that you’ll be there
With love and pure devotion when I’m old
Look at you now
You became a man of honor I can call on any night
Look at you now
Now the table’s turned and I have learned to take my son’s advice
How I love the way you’ve grown
You did it on your own
Look at you, my son
Look at you now.
How I love the way you’ve grown
You did it on your own
Look at you, my son
Look at you now.
