[Intro: Thief]
One, two, three

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Lay no roses at my feet
Lay no roses at my feet
'Cause where I'm goin', He waits for me
So lay no roses at my feet

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

[Verse 3]
Don't you sing those old sad songs
Don't you sing those old sad songs
They're keeping you from movin' on
No, don't be singin' those old sad songs
[Verse 4]
And just keep Jesus on your mind
Just keep Jesus on your mind
You do your dancin', drink your wine
But just keep Jesus on your mind

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

[Outro]
Hold on, darlin', I will see you again
Hold on, darlin', I will see you again
