(Jean-Pierre Bourtayre/Claude François)



As I look at you lying there,

in your eyes I can see myself,

and you hair is like my hair,

it's the face of my son,

everyday you'll be growing up, 

there are things for us both to learn,

man to man we'll be talking,

side by side we will run.



For now it's you and I together,

No one else could ever step into the world we're sharing,

nobody could match the caring,

nobody could understand the feeling,

you and I together we'll go on forever,

knowing all about each other,

can a father be a brother when a son becomes a man?



If my love doesn't always show,

and I hurt you with foolish words,

just because I am older I won't always be right,

in your games I will play with you,

and your life will be my success,

all your dreams will be my dreams,

and your fight is my fight.



For now it's you and I together,

no one else could ever step into the world we're sharing,

nobody could match the caring,

nobody could understand the feeling,

you and I together we'll go on forever,

knowing all about each other,

can a father be a brother when a son becomes a man?
