Leaving
Has deep personal meaning to me.
Are your arrangements made?
Have your plans been laid?
Well, carry on my son
But if you're sure you're leaving us
Check your bags to see
Your things are how they ought to be
And peace be with you son
Of anyone I most believe in you
How you've grown so fast
I'd hoped our times would last
And don't you go forget us
The family that raised them up a man
And now you're leaving home
Take this money now
You just might need it then
Yes, I know you're set
Please me, allow this one last worry
I've got your address
You'll call when you arrive
And tell me how your trip was
If you are alive we'd like to know
How you've grown so fast
I keep on wishin' for the past
And don't you go so soon
My only boy so much I have to say
And now you're leaving home
Leaving my watchful eyes
Leaving our arguments
So many thing that I'll miss most about you
Son I have watched you grow
Taught you everything I know
Before you go is your room how you'll want it
When you come back
If you come back
Come back
As you board the plane
You know I can only think
Of those times we shared while camping
And you almost drowned
You know I saved you then
How can I save you now
So hard to think you can rely on you
Will you ever need me
Now you've grown so fast
I keep on wishin' for the past
But you go on now friend
Once just a boy that may never cry again
And now you're leaving home
And now you're leaving home
And now you're leaving home
