"Loretta's Song" lyrics

When I'm gone, don't cry for me
When I'm gone, don't cry for me
I've waited so long, now I'm free
So when I'm gone, don't cry for me

Lay no roses at my feet
Lay no roses at my feet
'Cause where I'm going, He waits for me
So lay no roses at my feet

'Cause life's too long for to keep regret
And love's too strong to lay down for death
I know you're hurting, but it's not the end
So hold on darlin', I will see you again

Don't you sing those old sad songs
Don't you sing those old sad songs
They're keeping you from moving on
Now, don't be singing those old sad songs

Just keep Jesus on your mind
Just keep Jesus on your mind
You do your dancing, drink your wine
But just keep Jesus on your mind

'Cause life's too long for to keep regret
And love's too strong to lay down for death
I know you're hurting, but it's not the end
So hold on darlin', I will see you again

'Cause I've been waiting from that sweet first breath
For to lay me down with my love and rest
I know you're hurting, but it's not the end
So hold on darlin', I will see you again

Hold on darlin', I will see you again
Hold on darlin', I will see you again
