When I'm Gone Lyrics

There's a whole life ahead, all my friends

Are far away now

My whole world it seems, suddenly

Is her merry-go-round

I'm sitting at my desk, and she said,

"Will you dance with me?"

There's no music on, but it's all

Okay

Cause I know one day it'll all go away

As much as I want her to stay

I'll get old, but I hope she knows

I treasure every single day

Where she stands on my feet, and we dance as she sings

And says, "I love you, mom"

And I write everything so one day she can read

Our stories when I'm gone

Every day it's something new, the color blue

Never felt so happy

I swear for my whole life, I promise I

Will give you my everything

Cause I know one day it'll all go away

As much as I want her to stay

I'll get old, but I hope she knows

I treasure every single day

Where she stands on my feet, and we dance as she sings

And says, "I love you, mom"

And I write everything so one day she can read

Our stories when I'm gone

She sleeps so quietly

I'm pondering

What she'll do without me

I don't want this to end

And I pray she'll know

That she's my world

Cause I know one day it'll all go away

As much as I want her to stay

I'll get old, but I hope she knows

I treasure every single day

Where she stands on my feet, and we dance as she sings

And says, "I love you, mom"

And I write everything so one day she can read

Our stories when I'm gone
