Lyrics

[Verse 1] When death shall close these eye lids And this heart shall cease to beat And they lay me down to rest In some flowery bound retreat [Chorus] 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? [Verse 2] Perhaps you'll plant a flower On my poor unworthy grave Come and sit along beside me When the roses nod and wave [Chorus] 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? [Verse 3] One sweet thought my soul shall cherish When this fleeting life has flown This sweet thought will cheer when dying Will you miss me when I'm gone? When these lips shall never more Press a kiss upon thy brow But lie cold and still in death Will you love me then as now? [Chorus] 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?
