How Do You Tell A Child That Someone Has Died Lyrics - Good Bad Not Evil - Black Lips

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
