The Day That I Die

Original

On the day that I die

Tell my mother I was smiling

'Cause I know that she'll be crying rivers wide

Tell my friends that it's alright

And say I'm sorry that I never

Text or called or wrote more letters, shoulda tried

Let 'em know it ain't goodbye

'Cause every door and every dawn

You know I'm only ever on the other side

So, don't cry, don't cry

On the day that I leave

I hope the memories find you happy

And my dad ain't too mad at me to say the least

Pray my sister gets to sleep

I wish I coulda said it better

What all those times we had together meant to me

But don't cry, don't cry

On the day that I die

Oh, oh

Just as the Sun will rise

And the Sun will set

I will love you just the same from somewhere different

Until you close your eyes

And we meet again

Don't you, don't you cry

On the day that I die

I promise that I'll be reliving

Every second, every minute of you and I

Flashing right before my eyes

Every young and dumb decision

Every blessing I was given, oh, what a life

So, don't cry, don't cry

Don't cry, don't cry

On the day that I die
