[ti:] [ar:] [al:] [by:时间戳工具V2.0_20200810] [offset:0] [00:21.27]I've watched you grow from first kick to first kiss [00:25.71]Shoulder rides to sleepless nights [00:28.47]Felt tip crows to scoring goals and bedtime Katamino [00:33.51]Watched you hold your own from boy to man [00:36.36]As you stand firm bare and bold not afraid to walk alone [00:41.40]Reveal your pain [00:43.02]Unique [00:44.25]Defiant [00:45.36]Uncompromising [00:47.46]And with our compass lost we talked long into the darkest hours [00:51.48]Until we saw the burnished sky and our eyes stung as our words blurred and became thoughts [00:58.80]As we were silenced by the dawn [01:02.16]We clung to each other like sailors in a storm as our world pitched and bucked our breath stolen by grief [01:09.57]But you stood strong filled such big boots [01:13.05]Gripped to the helm and steered us on into the calm [01:16.23]Abandoned your lifetime ambition to hold us down [01:19.68]Took on a different mission while we were turned inside out raw and gaping [01:25.44]But you wrapped us up in your dream realised your vision and fed us with your words of power [01:32.64]Like buccaneers we sailed the seven seas and drank in the wonders of your world and returned giddy with the heady smell of your success [01:41.49]And when that time came oh did we weep [01:45.06]But the tears that streaked our cheeks were stained with glee because we knew that this was not goodbye [01:51.60]That you'd be back that you'd never really left [01:54.87]Because love does not lessen by miles it's not locked out by doors or walls [02:01.17]But reinforced in thought and heart [02:03.60]It cannot be lost like a key or a sock [02:06.93]Or left behind in a box it is present in each and every breath and flows deep with every beat and deed [02:16.29]It may not be your presence but it's your essence that remains [02:20.76]Forever dancing like glitter in our air [02:24.93]And now it's as clear to me my beautiful boy [02:28.35]As naked as the joy that caresses the creases of your eye [02:32.49]That you've finally found your one your golden snitch and my task is done [02:39.18]For I've gained a daughter [02:43.02]I've not lost a son [02:52.47]You wait till Emily hears that you wait till the world hears that Fuuuuuu [02:58.59]Do you like it [02:59.85]It's even better than the first one [03:01.41]Oh my days
