Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Please

Dad where are you going? Can I come this time?
Yesterday’s done and the years have gone by
Your friends on the corner get older each day
I guess that doesn’t matter, you leave anyway

Promises, promises, never to keep
You made me then left me, that knife cuts me deep
I know you by face, you hang on my wall
But other than that I don’t know you at all

Please don’t leave me
Please don’t leave me
I’ll be good for you, Pa
On the streets of life, one lives or dies
And I can’t make it alone
Please don’t leave me alone

Mom where are you going? I’m only a child
I know you are too but we can’t reverse time
We’ll make it together just give it a chance
And you can still go out and you can still dance

The day that you left me rained, chilly and cold
Just like my heart now is calloused and old
Mother, dear mother I ask you today
Why must I be hurt this way?

Please don’t leave me
Please don’t leave me
I’ll be good for you, Ma
On the streets of life, one lives or dies
And I can’t make it alone
Please don’t leave me alone
