Tristan

Nineteen eighty, in a hospital room

A precious dark-haired boy breaking through the gloom

The very first time I laid eyes on you

I held you close and my spirit knew

You were mine right then, a spark in the dark

Leaving a permanent mark on my heart

Tristan, you're the person you're supposed to be

My beautiful son, finally back with me

It's an unconditional love that I hold so deep

A bond that time could never put to sleep

You're back in my life, stepping into the light

We found each other, and the world is right

Just six months later, the music stopped

You vanished from my arms, and my whole world dropped

Taken away, with no hope, no trace

Just the fading memory of your little face

Not a wing and a prayer could help me find

The piece of my soul that was left behind

Tristan, you're the person you're supposed to be

My beautiful son, finally back with me

It's an unconditional love that I hold so deep

A bond that time could never put to sleep

You're back in my life, stepping into the light

We found each other, and the world is right

But "until now" are the sweetest words I know

The years of the searching are letting me go

Just like I love your sisters, I love you the same

The missing piece of the picture, the spark to the flame

I'm hoping you're staying forever this time

The mountain was hard, but we finished the climb

Tristan, you're the person you're supposed to be

My beautiful son, finally back with me

It's an unconditional love that I hold so deep

A bond that time could never put to sleep

You're back in my life, stepping into the light

We found each other, and the world is right

Yeah, you're staying forever, my dark-haired boy

Tristan, my son, my ultimate joy!
