Because I love you

I do my best

Because you showed me all the rest

But soon I'll have to leave the nest

And be my own man

A figure stout and strong you see

That he was a model for me 

But now is gone and I must care for three

In such a short time

but alas I will not be discouraged

I must show my mom I have my dad's courage

And for my sister I must encourage 

And prove that I am my own man

Because I love you 

It hurts me most 

to see you gone we were so close

So these words I say are a toast 

To show that I am my own man
