On the day that I die Tell my mother I was smiling 'Cause I know that she'll be crying rivers wide Tell my friends that it's alright And say I'm sorry that I never Text or called or wrote more letters, shoulda tried Let 'em know it ain't goodbye 'Cause every door and every dawn You know I'm only ever on the other side So, don't cry, don't cry On the day that I leave I hope the memories find you happy And my dad ain't too mad at me to say the least I pray my sister gets to sleep I wish I coulda said it better What all those times we had together meant to me But don't cry, don't cry On the day that I die Oh, oh Just as the Sun will rise And the Sun will set I will love you just the same from somewhere different Until you close your eyes And we meet again Don't you cry On the day that I die I promise that I'll be reliving Every second, every minute of you and I Flashing right before my eyes Every young and dumb decision Every blessing I was given, oh, what a life So, don't cry, don't cry Don't cry, don't cry On the day that I die
