Songtext von Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone?

When death shall close these eyelids And this heart shall cease to beat And they lay me down to rest In some flowery bound retreat Will you miss me? (Miss me when I'm gone) Will you miss me? (Miss me when I'm gone) Will you miss me? (Miss me when I'm gone) Will you miss me when I'm gone? Perhaps you'll plant a flower On my poor unworthy grave Come and sit along beside me When the roses nod and wave Will you miss me? (Miss me when I'm gone) Will you miss me? (Miss me when I'm gone) Will you miss me? (Miss me when I'm gone) Will you miss me when I'm gone? When these footsteps ne'er are heard And these lips are pale and cold In a winding sheet of daisies This frail body you'll enfold Will you miss me? (Miss me when I'm gone) Will you miss me? (Miss me when I'm gone) Will you miss me? (Miss me when I'm gone) Will you miss me when I'm gone?
