William Finn Father To Son Lyrics

JASON
My father says that love
Is the most beautiful thing in the world
I think girls are
I think girls are the most
Beautiful thing
Not love

MARVIN
Kid, be my son
What I've done to you is rotten
Say, I was scared
I kept marching in one place
Marching in time
To a tune I'd forgotten

I loved you, I love you
I meant no disgrace
This here is love
When we're talking Face to face

Father to son
I, for one, would take love slower
I've made my choice
You can sing a different song
Watch as you sing
How your voice gets much lower

You'll be, kid, a man, kid
If nothing goes wrong
Sing for yourself
As you march
Along

A man, kid, you'll be, kid
Whatever your song
Sing for us all
As we march
Along
