You'd better sit down kids I'll tell you why
You might not understand kids just give it a try
Now how should I put this, I've got something to say
You're 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
Be sure you 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 ask
She's gonna need you boys to stay in line

Keep in mind your mother's gonna need your help

No more fights over little things
'Cause I won't be there to stop them anymore

I know you don't want this, well, neither do we
But sometimes things happen that we can't foresee
So try to become kids and don't look so sad
Just 'cause I'm 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
Well, I have to go now so kiss me goodbye
My eyes are just red, kids, I'm too big to cry
