When I'm Gone Lyrics

"When I'm Gone"

My last breath
I wanna take with a smile
And no regrets
No hope of turnin' back that dial
Let the story I've written
Be somethin' worth leavin' behind
[Chorus:]
When I'm gone
Tell them I laughed more than I shed tears
When I'm gone
Tell them I stared down all my fears
That I danced on a wire and I walked through the fire
That I lived every moment till that moment retired
So my life goes on, goes on when I'm gone
(Oh, oh, oh) when I'm gone
Tell them I left that town
But it never left my soul
That I settled down but I never got old
If the house was packed and all raised a glass as the credits rolled

[Chorus]
Time don't last forever
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Time don't last forever
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

When I'm gone
Let my life go on, go on, go on

[Chorus]
