Michael Bublé’s introduction to the music of the swing era came to him through his grandfather, who filled his grandson’s ears with the sounds of The Mills Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and others. As Bublé eagerly absorbed the recordings, he began to realize that he wanted to be a singer and that this style of music, virtually foreign to his own generation, was what he wanted to perform.
With his grandfather’s assistance, Bublé soon learned a whole catalog of tunes and gained experience and exposure by singing as a guest with several local bands. While still in his teen years, he won the Canadian Youth Talent Search, released several independent albums, and performed in a musical review titled Swing that traveled across the U.S. It wasn’t long before Bublé was introduced to Grammy-winning producer David Foster during a famous Canadian wedding of Brian Mulroney’s daughter Caroline Mulroney. He later signed his first major recording contract with Reprise Records after that encounter.
The two Canadians began work on a debut album that would incorporate Bublé’s aptitude for pop standards into songs that spanned several decades. His self-titled debut disc was released in early 2003, and featured jazzy takes on old standards like “Fever” and “The Way You Look Tonight” as well as newer classics like “Moondance” and “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart”.
He finished off 2003 with an EP of holiday material, Let It Snow, and began 2004 with the live CD/DVD set Come Fly With Me. In 2005, It’s Time was a number one hit in Canada, Japan, Italy, and Australia, and made the top ten of both the UK and US. Later that year he released the live album Caught in the Act. More recently, Michael received a 2010 Grammy Award for 'Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album' for 'Michael Bublé Meets Madison Square Garden.

It seems like yesterday
You opened up your eyes
And I recognized your face
You know that you're the one that we've been waiting for
We're gonna keep you safe
First time I held you in my arms
I knew I'd love you all the way
I tuck you in at night
Another day has passed
Every week goes by a little faster than the last
It wasn't so long ago
We walked together and you held my hand
And now you're getting too big to want to
But I hope you'll always understand
That I'm always gonna lift you up
And I'm never gonna let you down
No matter what you do
I'm forever proud of you
I'll love you forever now
Through your ears I hear it
Through your eyes I see
A world full of magic
Full of possibilities
You know as well as anybody how tough this life can be
But you've got so much strength inside you
A strength I pray you'll never need
And I'm always gonna lift you up
And I'm never gonna let you down
Time flies by
I hope you realize that I
I'll love you forever now
I'm always gonna be right here
Always gonna cheer you up
I'm always gonna have your back
You're never gonna be alone
And I'm always gonna lift you up
No, I'm never gonna let you down
No matter what you do
I'm forever proud of you
I'll love you forever now
I'll love you forever now
The song "Forever Now" by Michael Bublé is a touching tribute to a parent's love for their child. The opening lines describe the feeling of meeting a newborn baby for the first time, recognizing their face and knowing that they are the one you've been waiting for. The lyrics then take a nostalgic turn, reminiscing on the moments of watching the child grow up, tucking them in at night, and reflecting on how they're getting bigger but hoping that they'll always understand the parent's love and support.
Throughout the song, the parent reassures the child that they'll always be there to lift them up, never let them down, cheer them up, and have their back. They acknowledge the challenges that life can bring, but express confidence in the child's strength and resilience, and hope that it's never put to the test. The chorus repeats the sentiment of the title, that the parent's love for the child is forever, and their pride in them will endure always.
Overall, "Forever Now" is a beautiful and heartfelt expression of the bond between a parent and child, and the enduring nature of that connection.

I just met you
I met you only a little while ago
It seems like yesterday
Time is passing by quickly
You opened up your eyes
You were born into this world
And I recognized your face
I saw in you something special
You know that you're the one that we've been waiting for
You are the most important thing in our lives
We're gonna keep you safe
We'll always protect you from harm
First time I held you in my arms
When I first held you, I knew I'd always love you
And now you're getting too big to want to
You're growing up and becoming independent
But I hope you'll always understand
I hope you'll always know how much we love you
That I'm always gonna lift you up
I will always support and encourage you
And I'm never gonna let you down
I will never disappoint or abandon you
No matter what you do
No matter what mistakes you make
I'm forever proud of you
I will always be proud of who you are
I'll love you forever now
My love for you will never fade

I recently lost my son to cancer. He was only 40. The hole in my heart is huge and yes each time I listen to this song, I cry my eyes out. But the lyrics are exactly what a father feels and thinks.

this might not mean much, but i lost my dad to cancer. I have a son of my own now. There's nothing like a bond between a father and his son. Stay strong and know you will see him again. I hope you smile today
