Leroy Sanchez - Proud

I never thought that I would see my daddy cry
Mom is still holding my bags as she wraps
Her arm around me tight
We're dreading the moment
Son, you will be fine
Make sure you show them how bright you can shine
Last call for boarding, I keep turning back to
Get one last goodbye

I hope that you're proud
I hope that you're proud
'Cause I gave it my all
But I'm not where I promised I would be by now
I hope that you're proud
I hope that you're proud
'Cause the last thing I wanted to do when I left
Was letting you down

Things seems so slow and before you know
Ten years go by
Missed so many birthdays
Because of some stupid plane ticket I couldn't buy
Son, how are you doing?
I'm doing just fine
What happened to that deal you were 'bout to sign?
Dad, don't you worry, I'm sure something better will come up next time

I hope that you're proud
I hope that you're proud
'Cause I gave it my all
But I'm not where I promised I would be by now
I hope that you're proud
I hope that you're proud
'Cause the last thing I wanted to do when I left
Was letting you down

It was letting you down
I never meant to let you down, no

I hope that you're proud
I hope that you're proud
'Cause the last thing I wanted to do when I left
Was letting you down
