When d**h shall close these eyelids And this heart shall cease to beat And they lay me down to rest In some flowery-bound retreat Will you miss, miss me, when I'm gone Will you miss, miss me, miss me when I'm gone X2 Will you miss when I'm gone Perhaps you'll plant a flower On my poor unworthy grave And come sit alone beside me When the roses nod and wave Will you miss, miss me, when I'm gone
Will you miss, miss me, miss me when I'm gone X2 Will you miss when I'm gone One sweet thought my soul shall cherish Till this fleeting life has flown This sweet thought will cheer when dying You will miss me when I'm gone Will you miss, miss me, when I'm gone Will you miss, miss me, miss me when I'm gone X2 Will you miss when I'm gone
