When I’m Gone

[Verse 1]
There's no place in this world where I’ll belong when I'm gone
I won't know the right from the wrong when I’m gone
You won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 2]
My days won't be dances of delight when I'm gone
The sands will be shifting from my sight when I’m gone
Can’t add my name into the fight when I'm gone
So I guess I’ll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 3]
I won't see the flowing of the time when I'm gonе
The joys of love will not be mine when I’m gone
My pen won't pour a lyric rhyme when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 4]
I won't breathe the bracing air when I'm gone
I won't be worried about my cares when I'm gone
Can't be asked to do my share when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 5]
I won't be running from the rain when I'm gone
Won't even suffer from the pain when I'm gone
Can't say who's to praise and who's to blame when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 6]
I won't see the golden of the sun when I'm gone
Evenings and the mornings will be one when I'm gone
Can't be singin' louder than the guns when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 7]
And I won't be laughin' at the lies when I'm gone
I won't question where or when or why when I'm gone
Can't live proud enough to die when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 1]
There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone
I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
You won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
