[Chorus:]

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



[Chorus]



Well, I have to go now

So kiss me goodbye

My eyes are just red, kids

I'm too big to cry
