When I'm Gone
Would 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 down all the photographs
Where we spent our warm and tender laughs
When i'm gone
Will you miss me in the night
Will your arms reach out to hold me tight
Will your keep me in your dreams?
In your heart, in your life
Sometimes I wanna run to you
Like lovers do when love is new
Just for a moment be close to you
Pretending i'm still holding you.
And even when I'm far away
In dreams we'll stay...and someday
After we've all chased our fantasies
Love will bring you back to me
When i'm gone
I'll be thinking 'bout you constantly
'Cause you're locked inside my memory
>From now on
And I know
That we said we needed time apart
Would your love keep pulling at my heart
But it's strong
Will you miss me in the night
Will your arms reach out to hold me tight
Will your keep me in your dreams?
In your heart, in your life
Sometimes I wanna run to you
Like lovers do when love is new
Just for a moment be close to you
Pretending i'm still holding you.
And even when I'm far away
In dreams we'll stay...and someday
After we've all chased our fantasies
Love will bring you back to me
Some times I wanna run to you
Sometimes I wanna run to you
Just like lovers do
Sometimes I wanna run to you
