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
Chorus: 1
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 oiden 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
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 Chorus: 1 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 oiden 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 Explain Request ×
