When your life is over I won't be sad or bluer
|
I'll put on my fancy hat, lie down next to you
|
I'll kiss you once for life; I'll kiss you twice for death
|
Hold you close for comfort, wearing my best dress
|
|
You look so angry when you sleep, your face a troubled frown
|
So I will smooth your furrowed brow as I lay in the ground
|
I'll kiss you once for life; I'll kiss you twice for death
|
I'll hold you close for comfort, wearing my best dress
|
And as the mourners pass me, I will smile and wave
|
Thank them for their sympathy and tell them I'll be brave
|
But once the wake is over, and I'm drunk and feeling fine
|
I'll go out there and find me another boy to pass the time
|
|
As we're dancing cheek to cheek and the lights are laid low
|
I'll request this song for you, laying in the ground below
|
Once the song is over, it's time to go to bed
|
I'll leave him on the dance floor and return to you instead
|
|
I'll kiss you once for life; I'll kiss you twice for death
|
I'll hold you close for comfort, wearing my best dress
|
