I
The first day of kindergarten a big yellow bus arrived
Little Johnny hugged his daddy’s neck before he climbed inside
Dad knew he had to tell him son it’s gonna be ok
So He said some words to help him through the day
Chorus
You’ll be fine I will see you soon
You are mine I’m so proud you
You’ll do great go on be brave and strong
I’ll be waiting for you to get home
II
Down the road John joined the army the big jet had a just arrived
Now they’re standing at the airport dreading that goodbye
His dad then reassured him with words he’d heard before
And this time it would take him through a war
III
After months of fighting cancer the expected time arrived
Johnny was called in to try to say goodbye
His dad could barely whisper but he just had to speak
He said “son remember this before I leave”
