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
Don't cry, don't cry
On the day that I die
Whoa, 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 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
