I Pit The Mother And Father (When The Kids Move Away) [Live] (Live)

歌詞

I pity the mother and the father when the children are gone Their life work complete still they must carry on So many families separated today And I pity the mother and the father When the kids move away No welfare check - or government plan Can ease the pain in the heart of a lonely man Or a lonely woman who gave her all that you might live today Yes I pity the mother and the father when the kids move away In the olden days a family never strayed far from home One or two might move away but the rest would carry on But we're scattered to the winds in this old world today And I pity the mother and the father When the kids move away They wanted so bad for you to have it good Didn't give you everything - but they did the best they could And they know that you must move away with a family of your own Still I pity the mother and the father When the children are gone No miracle drug in a nursing home Can say I love you mama and daddy When you're all alone To a man or woman who gave their all That you' might live today Yes I pity the mother and the father When the kids move away When the kids move away
