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
(repeat chorus)
Well, i have to go now
so kiss me goodbye
my eyes are just red, kids
i'm too big to cry
