I'm saying goodbye like I have to do

I never thought I would say this to you

But there's just one thing I'd like you to do

Speak well of me to the kids won't you

Don't say it's your fault but please don't say it's mine

Say something happened and they'll understand in time

That's not too much to ask I'd do it for you

Speak well of me to the kids won't you



When they start asking and they will before long

Wondering what happened and why I left home

Please tell 'em I love 'em let 'em know I do

Speak well of me to the kids won't you

Don't say it's your fault...
