When the last breath of life is gone from my body
And my lips are as cold as the sea
When my friends gather around for my farewell party
Won`t you pretend you love me
There will be flowers from those who cry when I go
And leave you in this old world alone
I know you`ll have fun at my farewell party
I know you`ll be glad when I`m gone
Don`t be mad at me for wanting to keep you
Til my life on this old world is through
You`ll be free at the end of my farewell party
But I`ll go away loving you
There will be flowers from those who cry when I go
And leave you in this old world alone
I know you`ll have fun at my farewell party
I know you `ll be glad when I`m gone
Yes I know you`ll be glad when I`m g-o-n-e.
