[Fm] [Eb]
[Ab]
My son, my son, [Db] I pray that you'll [Ab] come [Bbm] home [Ab] to me.
[G] My [Eb] son, [Ab] my son.
It seems only yesterday that the most important thing on [Db] your mind was whether you'd make the baseball team
[Cm] or [Bbm] get the new [Ab] school jacket like all the other kids had.
And I remember how your eyes lighted [Eb] up when you got your first rod and reel for that big fishing trip, just you and your dad.
And I remember wiping the tears away [Ab] when you hurt yourself on your sleds.
In those days it seemed the house was always filled with laughter and joy, filled with your friends.
[Db] They were such good boys.
And then [Cm] came the day that [Bbm] you [Ab] walked down the aisle to receive that all-important diploma.
I was so proud, [Eb] but I couldn't believe that tall young man was actually my son, my wonderful son.
And then I remember [Ab] the little girl that was always around, kind of tagging after you.
[Eb] She's not so little anymore, but she's still around.
Who [Ab] knows, maybe someday.
[E]
[A] Then you received the call that I guess we knew would come someday.
[D] But it came so quick, and now you're [Dbm] so very far [Bm] away.
[A] In a land that until a short time ago I didn't even know was [E] there.
I know the time will pass and you'll be home again.
But until that time, my darling, take care.
[A] Take special care.
[Gbm] [Dbm] My [A] son, [Em] my son.
[A] [D]
[Dbm] [Bm] [A] Me, [E] my son. My [B] son.
