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