Life As We Once Knew It



When I'm dead and gone, Let him live, but not alone.
If I could, you know I would stay, but I've got to go away.
Now I'm in a better place, please don't forget my face.
When you're sad and have thrown in your chips, You'll feel the gentle breeze across your lips.
That will be me healing your heart, then you'll know we're never apart.
I'll be your little white dove, sending down my precious love.
Go on, don't worry about me, we'll meet again, just wait, you'll see.
