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
