Our little boy is four years old and quite a little man So we spell out the words we don't want him to understand Like T-O-Y or maybe S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E But words we're hiding from him now tear the heart right out of me Chorus Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today Me and little J-O-E will be goin' away I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me Oh I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E Key Change - Watch him smile he thinks it's Christmas or his fifth birthday and he thinks C-U-S-T-O-D-Y spells fun or play I'll spell out all the hurtin' words and turn my head when I speak Cause I can't spell away this hurt that's drippin' down my cheek Chorus
