Got a call from the doctor
He said, "Hold on my friend
You've gotta know what I'm knowing
Please come right away"He said, "Lucy's been seeing me
And things just ain't right
You'll have to hold things together
'Cause Lucy ain't much time"Now should I tell her or keep it inside
Making her happy by feeding her lines
How am I gonna tell the children that Mama's goin' away
I couldn't love another woman, oh, Lucy please stayIf I'm gonna lose you after all this time
I'm gonna make life more beautiful, I'm gonna make you, make you feel fine
If we make tomorrow, we'll make it better every way
We'll keep on building 'cause we're living day to dayNow should I tell her or keep it inside
Making her happy by feeding her lines
How am I gonna tell the children that Mama's goin' away
I couldn't love another woman, oh, Lucy please stay
