You 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 goin' away.
No, we're not mad, kids, And 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 so stay in line.
Keep in mind your mother's gonna need
your help a whole lot more than she ever did before.
No more fightin' over little things 'cause
I won't be here to stop them anymore.
I know you don't want this, but neither do we,
but sometimes things happen, that we can't foresee.
So try to be calm, kids, and don't look so sad.
Just cause I am leavin', I'll still be your dad.
But just remember I love you, and though I'm not here,
just call if you need me, 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 so stay in line.
Keep in mind your mother's gonna need
your help a whole lot more than she ever did before.
No more fightin' over little things 'cause
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
You 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 goin' away.
