(My son, my son) 
My son, my son you're everything to me 
My son, my son you're all I hoped you'd be 
My son, my son my only pride and joy 
God bless and keep you safe 
My own, my precious boy 

For all the care and heartache 
Life has brought to me 
One precious gift has made it all worthwhile 
For heaven blessed and with great joy rewarded me 
For I can look and see my own beloved son 

My son, my son just do the best you can 
Then in my heart I'm sure 
You'll face life like a man 

My pride and joy 
My life, my boy 
My son, my son
