I'll Go Too

When I was young I often said
That 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 put his hand in mine
And tell me
"I'll go too."

I'll go too
I'll go too
That's what he'd say
That's 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.
I'll go too."

I'll go too
I'll go too
That's what he'd say
That's what he'd do
Don't go alone I'll walk with you
I'll go too

So many nights I've wondered
So many things to brave
So many acts of courage we face each and every day

I put on my new white dress
I had my doubts if I could do the rest
And he said "Take my hand just do your best.
I'll go too."

I'll go too
I'll go too
That's what he'd say
That's what he'd do
Don't go alone I'll walk with you
I'll go too

In the quiet cold of the April snow
It was time to finally let her go
I took his hand and said "I know.
I'll go too."

One day we all will understand
As we walk right in to 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'll say
That's what she'll do
Don't go alone I'll walk with you
I'll go too

I'll go too
I'll go too
That's what he'll say
That's what she'll do
Don't go alone I'll walk with you
I'll go too

I'll go too

I'll go too
