lyrics

WHEN I'M GONE

Well I got round to wondering if my children read about me
Well would they be proud or be ashamed of me
And what would be my legacy, the destiny I hand-me-down

Regardless of the things that crowned me when I sinned they were wrong
Now I'm shining on so my stories are all good when I'm gone

And now I'm onto wondering is it all to late to remedy
And if I think out loud will they listen or ignore me
And has the damage all be done
And will the memories keep haunting me

Yeah so I'm shining on so my stories are all good when I'm gone

When I'm gone I want them to remember me
As a peaceful man, a humble man
A dad that loves them unconditionally
A dad that wants for them, all the things they've ever dreamed
However unreal they seem, it all seems real to me

And on that day I fall that old picture on the wall
Will keep them smiling up to me
And I'll be glad that I'm the proudest dad that they have ever seen

But still my bleeding heart it's tearing me apart
When I can't see them smiling back at me
I'm on my knees, but still my bleeding heart
Take me right back to the start
Where I can see them smiling back at me

Well I'm shining on so my stories are all good when I'm gone
