Die Laughing Lyrics

Help me wash my hands of this gnawing fear of death

Purify my dirty soul and ease my ragged breath

Every day is like a hurricane and I'm barely holding on

Sometimes it feels like counting down til the moment I am gone

When I die, oh Lord, let me die laughing

When I die, oh Lord, let me die singing

When I die, oh Lord, let me die dancing

When I die, oh Lord, you gotta tell me that you'll

Let me die laughing, Lord, now

Let me die laughing

Trouble in heart, trouble in mind that I just can't ignore

Tell me that you'll let me in if I can find a door

And if a door for my poor spirit can't be found

Then give me wings to fly to that land where I am bound

When I die, oh Lord, let me die laughing

When I die, oh Lord, let me die singing

When I die, oh Lord, let me die dancing

When I die, oh Lord, you gotta tell me that you'll

Let me die laughing, Lord, now

Let me die laughing

When I die, oh Lord, let me die laughing

When I die, oh Lord, let me die singing

When I die, oh Lord, let me die dancing

When I die, oh Lord, you gotta tell me that you'll

Let me die laughing, Lord, now

Let me die laughing

Give me that old time religion, give me Buddha 'neath his tree

Give me Peter, Paul, and Mary Christ on Calvary

And now I lay me down to sleep and now I close my eyes

But if I do not wake again be with me when I die.
