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
