Anthony Melillo - That's My Son Lyrics

Ever since I was a boy
I knew id grow up to do something great
Cuz that’s what my Momma had said
As soon as a few years had passed
I realized that growing up happened so fast
But those words would stick in my head
And then I would find a guitar
And I knew that this thing would get me so far
So I asked my Dad what to do
He said “Soon you’ll be a man.”
Laughed and said “By then you should understand.”
Now is the time to now was the time to make something of you
I said id work real hard and do everything that you say
Cuz all I wanna be is someone you’ll look at and be glad to say
“That’s my boy, that’s my son. That’s my baby, my flesh and my blood and he’s grown into someone that I can be proud of. That’s my boy that’s the one doing his job and he’s having some fun.”
And you’ll both look at me and be proud to say
“Yeah, that’s my son.”
Looking back on all those times that I did things that you didn’t like
Well I tried my hardest to see
You said “There’s nothing to hide
Just go with what you feel inside
And be what your destined to be.”
But I heard, son don’t let us down
Cuz this life aint for foolin around
Start takin it seriously.
When I see all that I have
I know its all cuz of momma and dad
Now is the time to, now is the time to,
Give em what they gave me.
I said id work real hard and do everything that you say
Cuz all I wanna be is someone you’ll look at and be glad to say
“That’s my boy, that’s my son. That’s my baby, my flesh and my blood and he’s grown into someone that I can be proud of. That’s my boy that’s the one doing his job and he’s having some fun.”
And you’ll both look at me and be proud to say
“Yeah, that’s my son.”
Say that your proud of me
Tell me your proud of me
Say that your proud of me
Say that your proud of me
Tell me your proud of me
Say that your proud of me
Say that your proud of me
Tell me your proud of me
Say that your proud of me
Comeon say your proud
Yeah, “That’s my son, That’s my baby, my flesh and my blood and he’s grown into someone that I can be proud of. That’s my boy that’s the one doing his job and he’s having some fun.”

And you’ll both look at me and be proud to say
“Yeah, that’s my son.”
