Songs about sons?

Question

There are lots of songs out there that are about daughters. Here are a few: Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle, I Loved Her First by Heartland, My Little Girl by Tim McGraw, In My Daughters Eyes by Martina McBride, and Daughters by John Mayer.

But where are the songs that say how great it is to have a son. I have a new baby son and in the past I've tried to make a playlist on my MySpace for him, but I've found very, very few songs that will work.

Do you know of any songs that will work for a little boy?? Please help me find some that I will be able to add to a playlist. Thanks so much!! Nathan thanks you too -- he loves music!!

Answer 1

John Lennon- Beautiful Boy
It's such a touching song

Answer 2

"With arms wide open " by Creed is a good one.

Here's a good one by George Strait
"A love without end, amen"


I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye.
Fightin' was against the rules and it didn't matter why.
When dad got home I told that story just like I'd rehearsed.
And then stood there on those tremblin' knees and waited for the worst.

[Chorus:]
And he said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love,
A secret that my daddy said was just between us."
He said, "Daddies don't just love their children every now and then.
It's a love without end, amen, it's a love without end, amen."

When I became a father in the spring of '81
There was no doubt that stubborn boy was just like my father's son.
And when I thought my patience had been tested to the end,
I took my daddy's secret and I passed it on to him.

[Chorus]

Last night I dreamed I died and stood outside those pearly gates.
When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake.
If they know half the things I've done, they'll never let me in.
And then somewhere from the other side I heard these words again.

[Chorus]
