How Do You Tell a Child That Someone Has Died
How do you tell a child that someone has died?
Innocent visions of youth are only a lie
I tried to tell'em
And Lord knows I've tried
But anyway you'll break it
You'll just make'em cry
Little Tommy
I have bad news for you today
The teacher you loved, Mr. Peterson
Has sadly passed away
He was killed by a motorist
In a drunken act of rage
Let em live on in your heart
Now we must turn the page
How do you tell a child that someone has died?
Innocent visions of youth are only a lie
I tried to tell'em
And Lord knows I've tried
But anyway you'll break it
You'll just make'em cry
Little Suzy, I'm sad to say
Your father has passed on
His love for you was relentless as it was strong
If he only knew he'd be gone so soon
He would have tried and spend some more time
But he's on God's clock
Not yours and mine
Keep him in your heart
Each and every day
And there he will live on
And never fade away
How do you tell a child that someone has died?
Innocent visions of youth are only a lie
I tried to tell'em
And Lord knows I've tried
But anyway you'll break it
You'll just make'em cry
But anyway you'll break it
You'll just make'em cry
Innocent visions of youth are only a lie
I tried to tell'em
And Lord knows I've tried
But anyway you'll break it
You'll just make'em cry
Little Tommy
I have bad news for you today
The teacher you loved, Mr. Peterson
Has sadly passed away
He was killed by a motorist
In a drunken act of rage
Let em live on in your heart
Now we must turn the page
How do you tell a child that someone has died?
Innocent visions of youth are only a lie
I tried to tell'em
And Lord knows I've tried
But anyway you'll break it
You'll just make'em cry
Little Suzy, I'm sad to say
Your father has passed on
His love for you was relentless as it was strong
If he only knew he'd be gone so soon
He would have tried and spend some more time
But he's on God's clock
Not yours and mine
Keep him in your heart
Each and every day
And there he will live on
And never fade away
How do you tell a child that someone has died?
Innocent visions of youth are only a lie
I tried to tell'em
And Lord knows I've tried
But anyway you'll break it
You'll just make'em cry
But anyway you'll break it
You'll just make'em cry
