Will I never see again
The smiling faces of my friends
Could it be they've gone completely
And though thoughts will linger
Sweetly in my heartMay I hear once more
The bird calls my name
May I be permitted just one friend
To share my gameThe one who doesn't give a damn
For what I seem to be
And really cares for what I am and
What's within my heartI believe the sun will shine
And I know that given time
The leaves will blow tumble and
Cry upon the autumn stone belowAnd my heart grows tired each day
As the sun grow cold
Weary uninspired each day
Til the story is toldYou gave your love to one
Who only wants
What you seem to be
And doesn't really care for you or
What's within your heartOn my grave lay one black rose
Do this for me but don't suppose
Because I'm gone, my soul is dead
For I'll be here in spirit
And our love once moreThere must be a heart somewhere
In need of the love I have
That will reach out in sincerety and
Take my life in handThen I'll know it's not some one
Who wants just what I seem to be
The one who cares
For what I am and
What's within my heartWhat's within my heart ...
