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
Your mother is staying
but I'm going away
No, we're not mad kids
it's hard to say why
Your mother and I kids
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
more 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
though I'm not here
Just call if you need me
and I'll always be near
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
more 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
Well I
have to go now
so kiss me goodbye
My eyes are just red kids
I'm too big to cry
