"When I'm Gone"

My last breath, I wanna take with a smile
And no regrets, no hope of turning back that dial
Let the story I've written be something worth leaving behind

When I'm gone, Tell them I laughed more than I shed tears
When I'm gone, tell them I stared down all my fears
That I danced on a wire, And I walked through a fire
That I lived every moment 'til that moment retired
So my life goes on, goes on when I'm gone
Oh, oh
When I'm Gone

Tell him I left that town, but it never left my soul
That I settled down, but I never got old
If the house was packed and we all raised a glass as the credits rolled

My last breath, I wanna take with a smile
And no regrets, no hope of turning back that dial
Let the story I've written be something worth leaving behind

When I'm gone, Tell them I laughed more than I shed tears
When I'm gone, tell them I stared down all my fears
That I danced on a wire, and I walked through a fire
That I lived every moment 'til that moment retired
So my life goes on, goes on
When I'm gone

Time don't last forever
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Time don't last forever
Oh-oh-oh

When I'm Gone (when I'm gone)
Did my life go on, go on, go on?

When I'm gone, tell them I laughed more than I shed tears
When I'm gone, tell them I stared down all my fears
That I danced on a wire, and I walked through a fire
That I lived every moment 'til that moment retired
So my life goes on, goes on
When I'm gone
When I'm gone

Oh, my last breath I wanna take with a smile

Oh oh oh When I'm Gone...
Oh oh oh When I'm Gone...
