Edward Rawls - How Do You Tell A Child That Someone Has Died lyrics

[Chorus] How do you tell a child that someone has died Innocent visions of youth are only a lie I tried tell and lord knows I tried But any way you break it you'll just make em cry [Verse 1] Little Tommy, I have bad news for you today The teacher you loved Mr. Peterson Has sadly pa**ed away He was k**ed by a motorist in a drunken act of rage Let em live on in your heart Now we must turn the page [Chorus] [Verse 2] Little Suzy, your father has pa**ed on His love for you was relentless as it was strong If only he knew he'd be gone so soon He would have tried and spent more time But he's on God's clock, not yours and mine Keep him in your heart each and every day And there he will live on and never fade away [Chorus]
