Smile Without Me

I keep wondering and thinking about
How a soulmate is a part of your soul and heart
And how much it hurt when you left
After you said you'd be next to my deathbed

We met one day on a summer morning
You were new and I was slightly boring
We became attached at the hip
So many promises and future planning

And I don't understand
How everything goes back
To the plan of us
Running through Germany fields
While backpacking all through the years
So

While I'm gone
While I'm gone
While I'm gone
Promise me one last thing that
You'll smile a heck of a lot more
And you'll smile without me

I keep thinking about those times
You would step a foot right in front of mine
And when I sheded a tear
You would wipe it away and put me in cheer

And I don't understand
How everything goes back
To the plan of us
Running through Germany fields
While backpacking all through the years

While I'm gone
While I'm gone
While I'm gone
Promise me one last thing that
You'll smile a heck of a lot more
And you'll smile without me
While I'm gone
While I'm gone
While I'm gone
I'll relieve your memory
Not stuck on the past but I see
All the things you'll do without me

(While I'm gone, while I'm gone)
How could we have drifted so easily
(While I'm gone, while I'm gone)
Now you see, because

While I'm gone
I'm gone
I'm gone
Promise me one last thing
That
You'll smile a heck of a lot more
And you'll smile without me
