(dedicated to the memory of our grandmother jane nelson lawyer)
if i'm gone when you wake up please don't cry
and if i'm gone when you wake up it's not goodbye
don't look back at this time as a time of heartbreak and distress
remember me remember me 'cause i'll be with you in your dreams
hooo. ohh i'll be with you.
if i'm gone when you wake up please don't cry.
and if i'm gone when you wake up don't ask why
don't look back at this time as a time of heartbreak and distress
remember me, remember me, cause i'll be with you in your dream, ohh,
ohh
don't cry i'm with you don't cry i'm by your side
don't cry i'm with you don't cry i'm by your side
and though my flesh is gone, hoo ohh
i'll still be with you at all times
and though my body is gone, hoo ohh
i'll be there to comfort you at all times
hoo, ohh, hoo, ohh
(repeat chorus)
i don't want you to cry and weep, hoo ohh
i want you to go on livin' your life
i'm not sleepin' an endless sleep, hoo ohh
cause in your heart you all have good times
(repeat chorus)
hoo i'll be with you in your dreams
