Lyrics

When I’m gone,

Will you come and visit me in my new home.

Will you bring me daisy’s, we ever lies
My headstone.

Chorus
Long after, I’m Gone.

Will you cry for me? Tell foolish stories of when, memories
Tell them you would give anything,
To have me back again.

Chorus
When I’m gone.

Bridge
So let’s celebrate, the silver lining, let’s embrace, the heart breaking moments. Let’s not forget, the golden times, the golden times are here, and now.

Will you grab a fist full of dirt and cast it over me? Or Will you carry my ashes, and, gift them to the sea.

So before that day arrives, I have one last request. On my final day of walking, in the valley of the darkness.

Don’t you dare wear black, put on your summer best, Yellow or Whites maybe a lil florescent.

Chorus
When, when ,I’m Gone.

But please remember that, please remember. I’m not yet Gone,
this is the silver lining, I’m not yet Gone,
I will never forget you babe, your not yet Gone,
these are the golden time, you’re I’m not yet Gone,
don’t you dare wear black
I’m not yet Gone, yet Gone,
I’m not yet gone,
you’re not yet Gone….
