This song isn't really sad at all, it's a confession & a celebration of life! Everyday we make choices but once you have a child your life changes, your priorities change.

"What a day to say goodbye what a wonderful life now all aligned"

He's saying it's a good time to say goodbye to his old ways he has a child & all is right with the world. The evidence of his life at this very moment is his child,

"where to go from here I don't know"

a child doesn't come with instructions so you hope you can be a good parent. He's overwhelmed with joy...I'm smiling right now because I know how he feels!
