When death shall close these eyelids  And this heart shall cease to beat  And they lay me down to rest  In some flowery-bound retreat  Will you miss, miss me, when I'm gone  Will you miss, miss me, miss me when I'm gone X2  Will you miss when I'm gone  Perhaps you'll plant a flower  On my poor unworthy grave  And come sit alone beside me  When the roses nod and wave  Will you miss, miss me, when I'm gone  Will you miss, miss me, miss me when I'm gone X2  Will you miss when I'm gone  One sweet thought my soul shall cherish  Till this fleeting life has flown  This sweet thought will cheer when dying  You will miss me when I'm gone  Will you miss, miss me, when I'm gone  Will you miss, miss me, miss me when I'm gone X2  Will you miss when I'm gone
