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
