I'll Go Too

When I was small I often said

There were ugly things beneath my bed

I'd slip downstairs when I got scared

To the safety of dad's easy chair

That chair was like a long deep sigh

And I'd stay until he'd say, "it's time"

But he always smiles and put his hand in mine

And say," I'll go too."

"I'll go too, I'll go too"

That's what he'd say and what he'd do

"don't go alone I'll walk with you

I'll go too."

When I was learning how to swim

I'd look at the water and back at him

But he took my hand and said

"we'll both jump in"

And "I'll go too."

So many nights I've wandered

So many things to brave

So many acts of courage

We face each and everyday

It was almost noon in a white lace dress

I had my doubts if I could do the rest

He said, "take my hand and just do your best"

"and I'll go too"

So many nights I've wandered

So many things to brave

So many acts of courage

We face each and everyday

In a quiet place in the April snow

It was time to finally let her go

So I took his hand and said, "I know"

"I'll go too"

Someday we all will understand

And we'll walk right into the promised land

But I hope an angel takes me by the hand

And tells me "I'll go too"

"I'll go too, I'll go too"

That's what he'd say and what she'll do

"don't go alone I'll walk with you

I'll go too."
