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
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 Explain Request ×
