Catching Up With Harry
He was always on the move,
Always chasing something new,
Found a bit of trouble
Like young fellas sometimes do.
There were good times,
there were bad,
A few roads he shouldn't drive,
A broken heart along the way,
But he always came out fine.
Then one night the phone rang,
And our hearts just stopped awhile,
Life can change in one short moment,
Then you're thankful for a smile.
He learned you can't take tomorrow,
You just take it as it comes,
And hold a little tighter
To the ones you love.
Oh, where'd that little boy go?
The one we used to know?
Seems like only yesterday We watched him grow.
Through the good times and the bad,
Every tear and every laugh,
Somehow all those winding roads Led him to her at last.
I remember one afternoon,
He was heading out the door,
Had a bit of product in his hair,
More than we'd seen before.
His mum said, "Got a date?"
He said, "No, I'm catching up with Harry."
We didn't think much of it then,
But looking back, that's funny.
Then one day there came a girl,
He'd never met before,
A little swipe on Tinder,
And suddenly there was more.
We laughed and said,
"Well, let's see
Where this crazy thing might go."
We never knew that little swipe
Would lead him home.
And Chandler, you came along When he needed you the most,
You saw the man beneath the boy And gave him something close.
And son, we're proud of who
you are, More than words could ever say,
And seeing you stand here tonight Makes every mile worthwhile.
Oh, look at that little boy now,
He's standing tall and proud,
With the girl he found by chance
Right there beside him now.
All the wrong turns,
all the tears,
All the laughter, all the years,
Every road he travelled Brought him to you here.
So Mum might ask you someday,
When you're heading out the door,
"Is it a date this time?"
And you'll say, "Yeah,
Mum, it is."
No more catching up with Harry,
No more stories we don't know...
You found the one you're meant to love,
And now it's time to go.
Yeah, you found your way home.
