A bright sunrise will contradict the heavy fault that weighs you down In spite of all the funeral songs The birds will make their joyful sounds You wonder why the earth still moves You wonder how youll carry on But youll be okay on that first day when Im gone Dusk will come with fireflies and whippoorwill and crickets call And every star will take its place And silvery gown and purple shawl Youll lie down in our big bed Dread the dark and dread the dawn But youll be alright on that first night when Im gone You will reach for me in vain Youll be whispering my name As if sorrow were your friend And this world so in the end But life will call with daffodil And morning glorious blue skies oull think of me some memory And softly smile to your surprise And even though you love me still You will know where you belong Just give it time well both be fine When Im gone
