Практика: Even Though I'm Leaving

Daddy, I'm afraid, won't you stay a little while?

Keep me safe 'cause there's monsters right outside

Daddy, please don't go, I don't wanna be alone

'Cause the second that you're gone they're gonna know

Before he went to bed, he grabbed my hand and said

"Just 'cause I'm leaving

It don't mean that I won't be right by your side

When you need me

And you can't see me in the middle of the night

Just close your eyes and say a prayer

It's okay, I know you're scared

When I'm not here, but I'll always be right there

Even though I'm leaving

I ain't going nowhere"

Dad, we've all been late and Uncle Sam don't like to wait

He's got a big old plane that's gonna take me far away

I know I act tough but there's a churning in my gut

'Cause I just can't call you up when things get rough

Before I left, he hugged my neck and said

"Just 'cause you're leaving

It don't mean that I won't be right by your side

When you need me

And you can't see me in the middle of the night

Just close your eyes and say a prayer

It's okay, I know you're scared

I might be here, but I'll always be right there

Even though you're leaving

I ain't going nowhere"

Daddy, I'm afraid, won't you stay a little while?

I never thought I'd see the day I had to say goodbye

Daddy, please don't go, I can't do this on my own

There's no way that I can walk this road alone

Daddy grabbed my hand and said

"Just 'cause I'm leaving

It don't mean that I won't be right by your side

When you need me

And you can't see me in the middle of the night

Just close your eyes and say a prayer

It's okay, boy, I ain't scared

I won't be here

But I'll always be right there

Even though I'm leaving

I ain't going nowhere"

I ain't going nowhere
