If I were to die today
The things I’d want to do
The words I’d like to say

If I were to die today
I wouldn’t tell you
I’d hope you wouldn’t know
I’d want it to be treated
Like any other day
Not like my last

If I were to die today
Oh the things I could say
The places I’d like to go
The people I’d like to meet

If I were to die today
The thing that would be best
The most important thing of all
Is if you promise me this
That you’ll never forget me
