I would try most anything

While I stand here lingering

Have a couple of songs to sing

To take your mind away

Promises of treats I bring

I'd give you most everything

"Doesn't change anything

You're just going away".



Going away going, going, gone away again

Here today, gone tomorrow

LIttle ones can't hide their sorrow

Gong, going, gone away



See you holding back a tear

The moment when I disappear

You look and look until it's clear

He's gone for a long time

You say don't make a special trip here

Please don't because I fear

Some of my new friends

Might just spy a tear



Going away going, going, gone away again

Here today, gone tomorrow

LIttle ones can't hide their sorrow

Gong, going, gone away



That's enough places, Dad

Can't you see from our faces, Dad?



Going away going, going, gone away again

Here today, gone tomorrow

LIttle ones can't hide their sorrow

Gong, going, gone away



If you see a sunlight moon

Know that I can see it too

Know that I am with you

Promise I'll be home soon



I'm kind of glad that you miss me

Sort of hope you keep insisting
