It does me good to see you
it does me good, indeed
I see the joy behind your eyes
the way you follow their lead
It does me good to see you
Though the emotions take their toll
It's worth it just to see your smile
the peace within your soul
It does me good to see you
It brings much healing to my heart
You're beautiful and growing
You thrive while we're apart!
It does me good to see you
I can see you're quite OK
But if you ever need me
I'll be there for you that day
It does me good to see you
My first-born work of art!
When you have questions you need to ask
I'll give you details from the start!
It does me good to see you
I want to be part of your life
I'm thankful I can share myself
I never want to cause strife
It does me good to see you
Darling, you take care until next year
I gave you your parents carefully
And to both of us they show their care
It does me good to see you
It does me good, indeed
I made good plans for your life
They'll nurture you: I planted the seed
