"The Man You Didn't Know" lyrics

"The Man You Didn't Know"

When I'm gone don't write love songs
Don't cry teardrops
All the things you didn't do
Don't do them when I'm through

Cause I won't feel my heartache
Gone without my mourning
Let me go, you've done it once before
You can remember me as the man you didn't know

When I'm gone console my family
Show your face at my ceremony
Leave my rest and I'll alone be

But don't kid yourself my darlin'
One dark sun shining morning
I'll be gone you'll be the first to know
You can remember me as the man you didn't know

When I'm gone don't cry teardrops
Don't write love songs
All the things you didn't do
Don't do them when I'm through

Cause I won't feel my heartache
Gone without my mourning
Let me go, you've done it once before
You can remember me as the man you didn't know
You can remember me as the man you didn't know
You can remember me as the man you didn't know
