When I hear
"And you're so much like me
I'm sorry"
it makes me think that Ben's a sensitive person and sees his son is too. So he feels sorry for his son that he's so vulnerable. At least, I imagine a person like Ben that's capable of making such amazing music and lyrics, must be a sensitive person. He's able to express what many feel. But it also means he's more easily hurt than others, too.
The song is amazing. It makes me cry nearly every time I hear it. Also in a good way, because sometimes it feels great to realize at once the extent of our life (birth, youth, adulthood, and death).
By the way, my father once gave me a equivalent of this song, but then for daughters. It's "A Ma Fille" by Charles Aznavour. Very touching lyrics!
