If I Leave Before You Do

if i leave before you do
cry a bit but not too long
sob when you hear my favourite song
mourn me miss me
shout out my name
weep like there's no tomorrow
don't feel any shame

if i leave before you do
put my photos up on the wall
find my books
line them up in the hall
wash all my clothes
and keep them away
dry out our blanket in the heat of the day

if i leave before you do
find the strength you have inside
keep me in your prayers day and night
be pleased with me
and bless my life
forgive my many wrongs, sins and strife

if i leave before you do
know that i left with you in my heart
know that we're one together but just apart
our love His love will get you here
till then
take care
i love you dear
