You may shed sorrowful tears,
I won’t see them,
Then, why don’t you show your sorrow now?
When I am gone,
You may send beautiful flowers,
I won’t see them,
Then, why don’t you send them now?
When I am gone,
You may say lots of kind words,
I won’t hear them,
Then, why don’t you say now?
When I am gone,
You may say ‘we could have met often’,
I won’t be there to meet,
Then, why don’t we meet now?
When I am gone,
You may offer food I loved,
I won’t be there to eat,
Then, why don’t you offer now?
When I am gone,
You may say we could have talked,
I won’t be there to talk,
Then, why don’t we talk now?
When I am gone,
You may say we could have laughed,
I won’t be there to laugh,
Then, why don’t we laugh now?
When I am gone,
You may say ‘we could have celebrated’
I won’t be there to celebrate,
Then, why don’t we celebrate now?
