Carrie Newcomer I'll Go Too
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
Into 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’d always smile and put his hand in mine
And say, “I’ll go too.”
Chorus: “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 down at the water and back at him
He’d say “Take my hand, we’ll both jump in”
And “I’ll go too.”
Chorus
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, just do your best”
“And I’ll go too”
Chorus
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”
Chorus:
