"The Day That I Die" lyrics

On the day that I die
Tell my mother I was smiling
'Cause I know that she'll be crying, rivers wide

Tell my friends that it's alright
And say I'm sorry that I never
Text or called or wrote more letters
Should've tried

Let 'em know it ain't goodbye
'Cause every door and every dawn
You know I'm only ever on the other side

So don't cry, don't cry

On the day that I leave
I hope the memories find you happy
And my dad ain't too mad at me, to say the least

Pray my sister gets to sleep
I wish I could've said it better
What all those times we had together
Meant to me

But don't cry, don't cry
On the day that I die

Just as the sun will rise
And the sun will set
I will love you just the same from somewhere different
Until you close your eyes
And we meet again
Don't you, don't you cry

On the day that I die
I promise I will be reliving
Every second, every minute
Of you and I
Flashing right before my eyes
Every young and dumb decision
Every blessing I was given
What a life

So don't cry, don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry
On the day that I die
