Won't Be Here Forever Lyrics

I'm just a shadow of my former self

A model citizen of failing health

I know

I won't be here forever

So take a picture and we'll see what shows

A grinning skeleton in formal clothes

I know

I won't be here forever

When I go, I'll move on to something better

So take some paper and we'll document

My passing future and my present tense

I know

I won't be here forever

Let's make a statement and we'll make it last

We'll dedicate it to my dying past

I know

I won't be here forever

When I go, I'll move on to something better

Will it be Heaven where I go?

Or even down below?

Or will I walk this Earth forever?

I don't know

So stick with me and we'll keep fighting this fight

We'll keep on swinging til we see the light

I know

I won't be here forever

Let's write a eulogy for all our friends

We'll be together til the very end

I know

I won't be here forever

When I go, I'll move on to something better

Will it be Heaven where I go?

Or even down below?

Or will I walk this Earth forever?

I don't know

Will the doors be open wide

Will I reach the other side

Will I slip into the night

Riding sleep's eternal tide

Will I be carried to the sky

Will I find my paradise

With my family and my true love by my side

I'm just a shadow of my former self

A model citizen of failing health

I know

I won't be here forever

So freeze our memories in photographs

The sun is setting and I'm fading fast

I know

I won't be here forever

When I go, I'll move on to something better

Will it be Heaven where I go?

Or even down below?

Or will I walk this Earth forever?...

Will it be Heaven where I go?

Or even down below?

Or will I walk this Earth forever?...

Will I walk this Earth forever?...

Will I walk this Earth forever?...

I don't know
