    My child arrived just the other day,
       Ab                       Eb
    he came to the world in the usual way.
                   (Eb)                Gb
    But there were planes to catch and bills to pay.
  Ab                           Eb 
    He learned to walk while I was away.

    Well he came from college just the other day
    So much like a man I just had to say
    Som I'm proud of you. Can you sit for a while
    He shook his head and he said with a smile
    What I'd really like Dad is to borrow the car keys
    See you later, can I have them please.

    I've long since retired, my son's moved away
    I called him up just the other day
    I said I'd like to see you if you don't mind
    He said I'd love to Dad, if I can find the time
    you see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu
    but it's sure nice talking to you Dad,
    It's been sure nice talking to you.

    And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
         Gb       Bbm       Eb
    He'd grown up just like me
       Gb      Bbm       Eb
    My boy was just like me
