With Pen in Hand

Then I'll be gone and you'll be on your own

Can you teach him how to whistle a tune
If you think that the good times won't outweigh the bad
And keep all those bullies away, hear what I say

You'll be on your own
If you think we can't find the love we once knew
Can you look at the pillow where I laid my head
Can you take good care of Johnny
Can you take him to school everyday
And if you can forget the good times we had
And tonight as you lay in that big lonely bed
Can you tell him about the man in the moon
So alone
To kiss me and to hold me
Can you teach him how to catch a fish
If you can do these things then maybe he won't miss me
Then sign your name and I'll be on my way

If you think I can't make everything up to you

Maybe he won't miss me
And you'll be free and I will be alone
With your heart on fire will you have no desire
