You'd better sit down kids I'm telling you why
|
You might not understand kids but give it a try
|
Now how should I put this I've got something to say
|
I will be staying but daddy's going away
|
No we're not mad kids and it's hard to say why
|
Your daddy and I kids don't see eye to eye
|
Say your prayers before you go to bed help me get you off to school on time
|
I know you'll do the things I'll ask of you
|
I'm gonna need you more to stay in line
|
Keep in mind I'm gonna need your help a whole lot more than I ever did before
|
No more fightin' no more little things cause he won't be there to stop them anymore
|
|
I know you don't want this neither do we
|
But sometimes things happen that we can't forsee
|
Now try to become kids and don't look so sad
|
Just cause he is leaving he'll still be your dad
|
Just remember we love you and though he's not here
|
Just call if you'll need him he'll always be near
|
Say your prayers...
|
Well your dad has to go now so kiss him goodbye
|
Our eyes are just red kids we're too big to cry
|
You'd better sit down kids I'm telling you why
|
You might not understand kids but give it a try
