David F. Bello - I Want You To Be There When I Die lyrics

My dear, you know I'll always love you I know this may sound trite But when I see other girls In college I just might Remove the j**elry you made Out of paper, ink, and stones To sleep with other girls When I'm too lonely to think of you at home I a**ume after all this fun and good times Someday I'll get tired I will need some safety net For whenever I retire I want to be there when you die When my hair turns to white And I choose to settle down I'll send the letter I will write And come back to town And I pray you'll still be there To keep my yearbook warm We can live in my childhood home Where our children, too, will be born But I grew up where the mall is now In '97 as a result of business decisions made On top of that, you've got a child on the way And your new boyfriend has already got one in the first grade I want to be there when he dies My friends, they've all left It's just me and my collapse I've been meaning to call you sometime Between my naps I've missed you all these years When I moved you even cried And as my heart beats for the last time I want you, here, at my side I'm starting to lose sight I doubt I'll last the night I want you be here when I die I want you to there when I die
