I thought I would see you, much sooner than later
But when later came around and they couldn't find you anywhere

It wasn't goodbye, couldn't get a goodbye
God knows I tried my best
Wasn't ready for goodbye and now it's goodbye
Me and all three of your kids

And I did what I did to get them by
While I tried to find you on the other side
Even if it meant going my whole life
I know they'll be alright
With me looking on the other side

I got a call, he wasn't fallen, they just couldn't find him
Couldn't put my trust in the country... My my... My my

It wasn't goodbye, couldn't get a goodbye
God knows I tried my best
Wasn't ready for goodbye and now it's goodbye
Me and all three of your kids

And I did what I did to get them by
While I tried to find you on the other side
Even if it meant going my whole life
I know they'll be alright
With me looking on the other side
