|
Better sit down kids |
|
I'll tell you why, kids |
|
You might not understand, kids |
|
But give it a try, kids |
|
Now how should I put this |
|
I've got something to say |
|
You mother is staying |
|
But I'm going away |
|
No, we're not mad, kids |
|
It's hard to say why |
|
Your mother and I |
|
Don't see eye to eye |
|
Say your prayers before you go to bed |
|
Make sure you get yourself to school on time |
|
I know you'll do the things your mother asks |
|
She's gonna need you most to stay in line |
|
Keep in mind your mother's gonna need |
|
Your help a whole lot more than she ever did before |
|
No more fights over little things because |
|
I won't be here to stop them anymore |
|
I know you don't want this, neither do we |
|
But sometimes things happen |
|
That we can't foresee |
|
Now try to be calm, kids |
|
And don't look so sad |
|
Just cause I am leaving |
|
I'll still be your dad |
|
Just remember I love you |
|
And though I'm not here |
|
Just call if you need me |
|
And I'll always be near |
|
Better sit down kids |
|
I'll tell you why, kids |
|
You might not understand, kids |
|
But give it a try, kids |
|
Now how should I put this |
|
I've got something to say |
|
You mother is staying |
|
But I'm going away |
|
No, we're not mad, kids |
|
It's hard to say why |
|
Your mother and I |
|
Don't see eye to eye |
|
Well, I have to go now |
|
So kiss me goodbye |
|
My eyes are just red, kids |
|
I'm too big to cry |
