Promise Me

WHEN IM GONE MY LOVE,

WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES FOR A WHILE,

SOMEWHERE THEN I WILL GO,

TO A PLACE THAT’S BEEN UNTOLD.

 

PLANT NO ROSES ON MY GRAVE,

NOR THE BARELY’S WE USE TO SAVE,

SING NO SONGS OF SORROW, NOR

CRY OUT LOUD ‘TILL

TOMORROW.

 

TRY TO BRING BACK ALL THE JOYS

THAT WE HAVE,

FOR AFTER YOU REMINISCE IT WILL

MAKE YOU SAD.

NEVER LIE A SULLEN LIFE, NOR BLAME

NOT ANYONE FOR THERE’S STILL TIME

FOR US.

 

NEVER KISS ME GOODBYE IF YOUR

TEARS FALL UNKIND, NOR THOU DRESS IN BLACK

WHEN THOU ART IN THE CHURCHYARD,

NEVER LEAVE ME REGRETS WITH,

THROUGH THE SILENCE BE NOT HOPELESS

MY LOVE WHEN MY VISIONS OUT OF SIGHT.

 

I WONT ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE IN THIS WORLD.

BUT I WONT ACCEPT A THING LEFT UNDONE.

 

PROMISE ME WHEN IM GONE FAR AWAY.

 

SPARE ME A PRAYER AT THE END OF MY DAY.
