When I'm Gone

There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone
 And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
 And you won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone
 So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
 And I won't feel the flowing of the time when I'm gone
 All the pleasures of love will not be mine when I'm gone
 My pen won't pour a lyric line when I'm gone
 So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
 And I won't breathe the bracing air when I'm gone
 And I can't even worry 'bout my cares when I'm gone
 Won't be asked to do my share when I'm gone
 So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
 ♪
 And I won't be running from the rain when I'm gone
 And I can't even suffer from the pain when I'm gone
 Can't say who's to praise and who's to blame when I'm gone
 So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
 Won't see the golden of the sun when I'm gone
 And the evenings and the mornings will be one when I'm gone
 Can't be singing louder than the guns while I'm gone
 So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
 All my days won't be dances of delight when I'm gone
 And the sands will be shifting from my sight when I'm gone
 Can't add my name into the fight while I'm gone
 So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
 ♪
 And I won't be laughing at the lies when I'm gone
 And I can't question how, or when, or why when I'm gone
 Can't live proud enough to die when I'm gone
 So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
 There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone
 And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
 And you won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone
 So I guess I'll have to do it
 I guess I have to do it
 Guess I have to do it while I'm here!
