When I'm gone Will you take good care of everything? Will you keep wearing your wedding ring? When I'm gone And when I'm gone Will you take out all the photographs Maybe spend a moment in the past? When I'm gone Will you miss me in the night? Will your arms reach out to hold me tight And keep me in your dreams In your heart, in your life? Sometimes I'll wanna run to you like lovers do When love is new and just for a moment be close to you Pretending I'm still holding you. And even when I'm far away the dreams will stay. And someday after we've both chased our fantasies Love will bring you back to me When I'm gone I'll be thinking about you constantly 'Cause you're locked inside my memory from now on And I know that we said we needed time apart But your love keeps pulling at my heart, pulling strong Will you miss me in the night? Will your arms reach out to hold me tight And keep me in your dreams In your heart, in your life? Sometimes I'll wanna run to you like lovers do Sometimes I'll wanna run to you like lovers do Sometimes I'll wanna run to you like lovers do
