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, shoulda 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
I pray my sister gets to sleep
I wish I coulda 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
Oh, oh
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 cry
On the day that I die
I promise that I'll 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, oh, what a life
So, don't cry, don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry
On the day that I die
