With Pen In Hand

With Pen In Hand - John C. Wakely

With pen in hand

You sign your name

Today at five

I'll be on that train

And you'll be free

And I will be alone

So all alone

If you think we can't

Find the love we once knew

If you think I can't

Make everything up to you

Then I'll be gone

And you'll be on your own

You'll be on your own

Can you take good care of Johnny

Can you take him to school every day

Can you teach him how to catch a fish

And keep all those bullies away

Hear what I say

Can you teach him

How to whistle a tune

Can you tell him

About the man in the moon

If you can do these things

Then maybe he won't miss me

And just Maybe

And tonight as you lay

In that big, lonely bed

Can you look at the pillow

Where I laid my head

With your heart on fire

Will you have no desire

To kiss me and to hold me

And if you can forget

The good times we had

If you think that the good times

Don't outweigh the bad

Then sign your name

And I'll be on my way

I'll be on my way
