My Dying Words
The first girl that I ever loved
With eyes that sparkled like the sun
Until the day she fell and drowned
Gone 7 hours before she was found
Now her face etched in my mind
Like 45s I can't unwind
Someday I'll accept that she is gone
And I'll sing her song to everyone
From all the folks she left behind
A flood of tears has lands defined
Wrapped up in days when she was here
One moment to the next she disappeared
Now memories they have replaced
The laying of kisses on her face
The warmth of her cheek here next to mine
Here in this world I'll never find
So today put on your best
The girl you loved is put to rest
The lungs she used to sing sweetly
Have failed and filled and no longer breathe
I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
These would be my dying words
Your ghostly voice it cries for me
Out from the static the radio bleeds
Gold trees fell and winter came
I whispered these notes all filled with pain
A hush has silenced the town today
Like new fallen snow in the field where she lays
Eyes from the clouds they softly weep
As her body returns to the ground beneath
So today put on your best
The girl you loved is put to rest
The lungs she used to sing sweetly
Have failed and filled and no longer breathe
I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
These would be my dying words
With eyes that sparkled like the sun
Until the day she fell and drowned
Gone 7 hours before she was found
Now her face etched in my mind
Like 45s I can't unwind
Someday I'll accept that she is gone
And I'll sing her song to everyone
From all the folks she left behind
A flood of tears has lands defined
Wrapped up in days when she was here
One moment to the next she disappeared
Now memories they have replaced
The laying of kisses on her face
The warmth of her cheek here next to mine
Here in this world I'll never find
So today put on your best
The girl you loved is put to rest
The lungs she used to sing sweetly
Have failed and filled and no longer breathe
I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
These would be my dying words
Your ghostly voice it cries for me
Out from the static the radio bleeds
Gold trees fell and winter came
I whispered these notes all filled with pain
A hush has silenced the town today
Like new fallen snow in the field where she lays
Eyes from the clouds they softly weep
As her body returns to the ground beneath
So today put on your best
The girl you loved is put to rest
The lungs she used to sing sweetly
Have failed and filled and no longer breathe
I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
These would be my dying words
