I'm saying goodbye like I have to do I never thought I would say this to you But there's just one thing I'd like you to do Speak well of me to the kids won't you Don't say it's your fault but please don't say it's mine Say something happened and they'll understand in time That's not too much to ask I'd do it for you Speak well of me to the kids won't you When they start asking and they will before long Wondering what happened and why I left home Please tell 'em I love 'em let 'em know I do Speak well of me to the kids won't you Don't say it's your fault...
