Child's Song

Goodbye mama goodbye to you too paw

Little sister you'll have to wait a while to come along

Goodbye to this house and all its mem'ries

We all just got to old so say we're wrong

I've got to make one last trip to my bedroom

I guess I'll have to leave some stuff behind

Funny how the same old crooked pictures

Just don't look the same to me tonight

Ain't no use in sheddin' no more tears ma

Ain't no use in shoutin' at me pa

I can't live no longer with your fears ma

I love you but that hadn't helped at all

All of us has got to do what matters

And each of us must see what we can see

Though it was long ago you must remember

That you were once as young and scared as me

Mama I don't know how hard it is yet

When you realized you're growin' old

I know how hard it is now to be younger

I know you tried to keep me from the cold

Thanks for all you've done it may sound hollow

But thank you for them good times that we've known

But I must have my own road to follow

You will all be welcomed in my home

I have got my suitcase I must go now

I don't mind about them things you said

Sorry mom I just don't know where I'm goin'

Remember little sister look ahead

Tomorrow I'll be in some other sunrise

And maybe I'll have someone by my side

Mama give your love back to your husband

Father you have taught me well goodbye

Goodbye mama goodbye to you too paw
