If it be your will to speak Of memories we often shared Talk me of days gone by Think of love not despair.
And when I’m gone We’ll meet again As often do the closest friends So dry your eyes And lay me down. I tell you this is not end...
And if someone else take my place For I’ll be gone the longest time I’ll wait and I will understand! A heart of thorns must Leave the mind...
But when in time, see your face scars will fade The heart will mend So dry your eyes And lay me down. I tell you this is not the end...
And from I wish you joy From this day, I wish you peace I hope that life will pass you by As softly as the falling leaves.
when your heart is full again Raise glass for me my friend! And dry your eyes And lay me down. I tell you this is not the end. Oh! dry your eyes! lay me down. I tell you this is not the end...
