The Day (You Gave Me A Son)
Babyface · The Day
'Twas late December the news came
And I got so excited, I cried all day
And you were such a lovely, precious sight
When I saw our baby in your eyes
CHORUS: It was like falling deep in love
I heard the angels cry above
I felt a blessing straight from God
The day that you gave me a son
I called 'bout everyone I know
Just think, I'll be a father 'cause of you
And there is..no greater love than what you gave
A brand new baby on the way
CHORUS
Oh such tears of joy, I've never known
I can't remember
It's like a song, I've never heard
I've never sung, but know the words
CHORUS
And I got so excited, I cried all day
And you were such a lovely, precious sight
When I saw our baby in your eyes
CHORUS: It was like falling deep in love
I heard the angels cry above
I felt a blessing straight from God
The day that you gave me a son
I called 'bout everyone I know
Just think, I'll be a father 'cause of you
And there is..no greater love than what you gave
A brand new baby on the way
CHORUS
Oh such tears of joy, I've never known
I can't remember
It's like a song, I've never heard
I've never sung, but know the words
CHORUS
