When the last breath of life Is gone from my body And my lips are as cold as the sea When my friends gather 'round For my farewell party Won't you pretend you love me?
There'll be flowers from those Who cry when I'm gone And leave you in this world alone I know you'll have fun At my farewell party I know you'll be glad when I'm gone
Don't be mad at me for wanting to keep you 'Til my life on this old world is through You'll be free at the end of my farewell party But I'll go away loving you
There'll be flowers from those Who cry when I'm gone And leave you in this ol' world alone I know you'll have fun At my farewell party I know you'll be glad when I'm gone Oh, I know you'll be glad when I'm gone
