[00:07.38]Better sit down kids
[00:11.46]I'll tell you why, kids
[00:15.30]You might not understand, kids
[00:19.50]But give it a try, kids
[00:23.43]Now how should
[00:24.57]I put this
[00:27.27]I've got something to say
[00:32.04]You mother is staying
[00:35.70]But I'm going away
[00:39.90]No, we're not mad, kids
[00:44.76]It's hard to say why
[00:45.36]Your mother and
[00:51.96]I Don't see eye to eye
[00:57.03]Say your prayers before you go to bed
[00:59.10]Make sure you get yourself to school on time
[01:04.50]I know you'll do the things your mother asks
[01:06.42]She's gonna need you most to stay in line
[01:11.79]Keep in mind your mother's gonna need
[01:13.65]Your help a whole lot more than she ever did before
[01:18.93]No more fights over little things because
[01:21.15]I won't be here to stop them anymore
[01:34.20]I know you don't want this, neither do we
[01:42.09]But sometimes things happen
[01:46.14]That we can't foresee
[01:50.31]Now try to be calm, kids
[01:54.57]And don't look so sad
[01:58.80]Just cause
[02:00.12]I am leaving
[02:03.06]I'll still be your dad
[02:07.41]Just remember
[02:08.34]I love you
[02:26.49]And though
[02:33.63]I'm not here
[02:34.47]Just call if you need me
[02:40.86]And I'll always be near (Repeat Chorus)
[03:02.88]Well, I have to go now
[03:06.93]So kiss me goodbye
[03:12.24]My eyes are just red, kids
[03:15.54]I'm too big to cry

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
