THEN
When I have said the last thing
That I ever need to say
I will lay me down to die
When I have learned the last thing
That I ever need to learn
I will lay me down to die
When I have sung the last song
That I ever need to sing
I will lay me down to die
When I have seen the last place
That I ever need to see
I will lay me down to die
When I have held the last hand
That I ever need to hold
I will lay me down to die
When I have shed the last tear
That I ever need to shed
I will lay me down to die
When I have lived all the life
That I ever need to live
I will lay me down and die
And not until.

I think I'm gonna need about 20 more years at the far end of my life, in order to fit it all in.
