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 To 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 always smiles 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 at the water and back at him But he took my hand and said "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 and just do your best" "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 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" [Chorus] 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" "I'll go too, I'll go too" That's what he'd say and what she'll do "don't go alone I'll walk with you I'll go too." --- I'll Go Too - Carrie Newcomer
