Black Lips How Do You Tell A Child That Someone Has Died Lyrics

How Do You Tell A Child That Someone Has Died Lyrics

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



Little Tommy, I have bad news for
you today

The teacher you loved Mr. Peterson

Has sadly passed
away

He was killed by a motorist in a drunken act of rage

Let em
live on in your heart

Now we must turn the page



Little Suzy,
your father has passed 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
