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 want 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 we ran out of time That's not too much to ask after all we've been through 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 Just tell 'em I still love them like you know I do Speak well of me to the kids, won't you? Don't say it's your fault, oh, 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? Speak well of me to the kids, won't you?
