Song Description
This song has several themes. It's about a love that will never dim. It's also about a son or daughter growing up and the changing relationship between them and the singer/parent. And it's about never passing up a chance to show your children that you love them.
My son had a tough time as a kid, and he told me that what this song meant to him was that my wife and I would never give up on him.

Lyrics
RISING SUN
Words & Music
Tom Griffith
You tell me all your secrets
I'm the center of your life
But I don't know how much longer
I will be your guiding light
So while I wait for you to fly
I will hold you for as long as I can
Kiss you every chance I get
Love you like the rising sun
But my love will never set
My love will never set
I love you beyond reason
Still I know there'll come a day
When I go from standing by your side
To standing in your way
I won't try to make you stay
(chorus)
You've become my world
And my joy runs so deep
Your love is a gift
One I cannot keep
(chorus)
