When I'm gone...
Your tears will flow,
But I won't know,
Cry for me now instead...

When I'm gone...
You will send flowers,
But I won't see,
Send them now instead...

When I'm gone...
You'll say words of praises and edifications,
But I won't hear them;
Praise me now instead...

When I'm gone...
You'll forget my faults,
But I won't know.
Forget them now, instead...

When I'm gone...
You'll miss me then,
But I won't feel it;
Miss me now, instead...

When I'm gone...
You'll wish you could have spent more time with me;
Spend it now instead...

When I'm gone...
You'll wish you could have spent all your money on me;
Spend it now, instead...

When you hear I'm gone,
You'll find your way to my house,
Just to pay condolences,
But we haven't even spoken in years.
Please look for me now!
