The moment my doctor told me
That I was having you,
A little spark inside my heart lit
It lit the love I have for you.

When I'd feel you move inside me
I knew I'd protect you from all harm,
I couldn't wait until I'd meet you
And hold you safely in my arms.

When you finally came into this cold world
My eyes, they could not leave your face,
And that spark inside my heart burned
And grew into an ever burning blaze!

And that spark still grows!
It's the love in my heart you planted,
And that spark still grows!

As I watched you grow into a young man
Wanting to please me in every way
I took for granted you knew I  loved you
And forgot to tell you every day.

You were more to me than my son, then
You were my helper and my best friend,
And when it should've been me protecting you, boy
It was you protecting me instead.

Now today, you're almost grown up
you're sixteen and nearly a man,
And these past few years without me?
I'm sorry I wasn't there like I had planned.

I want to show you that I love you
And hold you safely once again,
So you can feel the fire in my heart burning
And know it's blaze could never end.

That spark still grows!
It's flame keeps getting hotter.
That spark still grows!
An inferno in my heart, this blaze that you started,
It's an ever burning love I have for you.
And that spark still grows!
It's fire could never die, your life is how it started
And that spark still grows!
