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
