Dolly Parton

Our Little Boy Is Four Years Old
And He's 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 the Words We're Hiding From Him Now
Tears 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 Going 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

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 Spell Out All the Hurtin' Words
And I Turn My Head When I Speak
Cause I Can't Spell Away This Hurt
That's Dripping Down My Cheek

Repeat Chorus
