Who’s Gonna Miss You?

You can climb a mountain, you can swim the sea
Or find a cure to some disease
Or break every record in the book ya see (yeah)
But who's gonna miss ya when you're gone?
Who's gonna miss ya when you're gone?
Did ya live it right, did ya live it wrong?
Who's gonna miss ya when you're gone?

You can carve a statue, and stand it tall
And hang your painting on a wall
Press your hands in wet cement
But who's gonna miss ya when you're gone?
Who's gonna miss ya when you're gone?

You can come in first, be the best!
Win the lotto, ace the test
Ya can line all them awards all up in a row
But who's gonna miss ya when you're gone?
Who's gonna miss ya when you're gone?

Did ya live it right, did ya live it wrong?
Who's gonna miss ya when you're gone?

Pop the question, cut the cake
Pop the cork, and consummate
Plant yourself a little family tree (yeah)
But who's gonna miss ya when you're gone?

You can write a hit, and be a star
Ride around in a big long car
And everybody reaching to touch your hand
But who's gonna miss ya when you're gone?
Who's gonna miss ya when you're gone?

Ah! Did ya live it right, did ya live it wrong?
Who's gonna miss ya when you're gone?

They took you home now
Up to that Big House
Because it's where you long to go
Now I recall where, you 'was' a good friend
The wind will always blow
So I say, ooo oooo ooo ooo
Oooo ooo ooo ooo ooo

The church bells ring, and the sky turns grey
And that big black hearse roooolls away
And everybody tries to walk away

I'm gonna miss ya when you're gone
I'm gonna miss ya when you're gone
Everyday, and all day looong
I'm gonna miss ya when you're gone

Who's gonna miss ya when you're gone?
Who's gonna miss ya when you're gone?

Did ya live it right, did ya live it wrong?

I'm gonna miss ya when you're gone
