Sturgill Simpson - Welcome to Earth (Pollywog) lyrics

Hello, my son Welcome to earth You may not be my last But you'll always be my first Wish I'd done this ten years ago But how could I know How could I know That the answer was so easy I've been told you measure a man By how much he loves When I hold you I treasure each moment I spend On this earth, under heaven above Grandfather always said God's a fisherman And now I know the reason why And if some times daddy has to go away Please don't think it means I don't love you Oh, how I wish I could be there everyday Cause when I'm gone it makes me so sad and blue And holding you is the greatest love I've ever known When I get home it breaks my heart Seeing how much you've grown all on your own Hearing you cry makes me cry It made me cry Hearing me cry A thousand miles away Every cry (greatest love I've ever known) (ever known)
