When I die darling

Текст песни

I think about you often, I write to you at night, Silly little letters Filled with love and smiles. Then I hide them in the fire, Watch the flames dance through the words, Till they quietly turn to ashes, Till they’re gone without a sound. [Pre-Chorus] And I wonder, as I watch them burn, What will become of me? What will remain of all this love When there is no more light to see? [Chorus] When I die, my darling, When I leave the sun behind, I’ll become a lonely shadow, Something long and hard to find. Will you take me in your arms then? Will you hold me close and tight? Will you mend what fate has broken, And bring me back to life? When I die, when I die, when I die, Will you still call me yours? When I die, when I die, when I die, Will you love me evermore? [Verse 2] Staring into the fire, darling, I wonder what will be Of this heart that still is hungry, Still so hungry for your love. Please don’t let me disappear Into a world without your name, A world that feels so dark and cold, Where nothing feels the same. [Pre-Chorus] So let the flames remember me, Let them carry every word. And if someday I am gone, Promise my love won’t be unheard. [Chorus] When I die, my darling, When I leave the sun behind, I’ll become a lonely shadow, Something long and hard to find. Will you take me in your arms then? Will you hold me close and tight? Will you mend what fate has broken, And bring me back to life? When I die, when I die, when I die, Will you still call me yours? When I die, when I die, when I die, Will you love me evermore? [Bridge] And if the world turns cold without me, If the night takes all my light, Keep a little piece of me Somewhere safe inside your heart. Because love should not be buried Just because the body fades— If you remember me with tenderness, I will never truly fade. [Final Chorus] When I die, my darling, When I leave the sun behind, Take me gently in your arms And don’t leave me there alone. Mend the pieces fate has shattered, Hold me through the night, And if there’s another morning, Let me find you in the light. When I die, when I die, when I die, Remember me, my love. When I die, when I die, when I die, I’ll still be dreaming of you.
