Standard (EADGBE)

Verse1

  We said a million times we'd change,

  Can't bring myself to say those words again.

  A piper never changes tune,

  You can't grow apples on the moon.

Verse2

  The hurtful things we say still penetrate,

  And whispered sorrys always come too late.

  Then the damage has been done,

  What er we going to tell our son.

Chorus

  I want to spare his broken heart.

  Brek it gently that we'll live apart

  Don't know the proper way to say

  He won't be seeing daddy ev'ry day.

Verse3

Those weekly outings never work you know,

Buying gifts and candy picture shows.

They can't replace the man around,

Your voice, your touch, your manly sound.

Verse4

I quess the trouble is I love you still,

And if it comes to that I always will.

No, please don't cry, it's just too late

Now hurry on, she's waiting at the gate

Chorus
