|D |D |F#m |F#m |
|G |G |Gm |Gm |
|D |A |
[Section 1]
D F#m D
Hello, my son, welcome to earth
D F#m D
You may not be my last but you'll always be my first
A G Bm A
Wish I'd done this ten years ago but how could I know, how could I know
D F#m G Gm D A
That the answer was so easy
G A D G
I've been told you measure a man by how much he loves
Bm D G D/F# A
When I hold you, I treasure each moment I spend on this earth, under heaven above
G D D/C# Bm
Grandfather always said God's a fisherman
G A D
And now I know the reason why
[Section 2]
D Bm
And if some times daddy has to go away
D Bm
Please don't think that it means I don't love you
D Bm
Oh, how I wish I could be there everyday
D Bm
Cause when I'm gone it makes me so sad and blue
D Bm
And holding you is the greatest love I've ever known
A
Oh when I get home it breaks my heart
G Bm A
Seeing how much you've grown, all on your own
[Section 3]

[Section 3]
Outro
D Bm
Oh, hear me cry
D Bm
Made me cry, it made me cry
D Bm
Hearing me cry, a thousand miles away
(Greatest love I've ever known)
D Bm
Made me cry Oh
(Greatest love I've ever known)
