Child (Lyrics) Poem by richard (mak) makinson

Saw you for the first time
A pretty little thing
I held you that first night
A new chapter begins
Walked with you that first time
And you held my hand
I've shared love in my life
This love's a different kind

Saw you for the first time
Made my head spin
I loved you at first sight
Even bought a ring
Walk with me the next time
Hope he won't mind
I've shared love in my life
This love's a different kind

Chorus

I didn't realise that love
Would make my heart go wild
Till I held you baby
For the first time
When you were just a child

As a boy for the last time
I saw my son today
As a man for the first time
My son cried today
As I bent to kiss you
He whispered your name
Then he took you from me
And I heard him say
I didn't realise that love
Could make my heart go wild
Till I saw my father holding
The child of his child

Chorus

I didn't realise that love
Would make my heart go wild
Till I held you baby
For the first time
Child of my child.
