Well it's time for me to leave you now, it's time for me to go.
I'd like to thank you for the laughter, your singing and the glow.
And it leaves me feeling better than when I first began.
Your friendship has been given, and it's grown just like a man.

It's a long road to travel, a long journey to make.
It's fraught with many perils and fraught with some mistakes. 
If you choose a path which leads you to the center of your heart.
Life will be worth living and you will feel a part of the love.

You have a way with children and you have a way with love.
A gift to you for someone, or maybe from God above.
And you make it all seem worthwhile to the children when you smile.
And hold them to your body and rock them for a while.
                                 Repeat Chorus

Well I think that I'll be leaving now, see the sadness makes it so.
But the gladness will remain with me and follow where I go.
And the lessons that you taught me and the love that you can share.
Give us the freedom to be happy and the desire to really care.
                                  ​Repeat Chorus
