Lyrics
MY DYING WORDS The first girl that I ever loved Had eyes that sparkled like the sun Until the day she fell and drowned Gone 7 hours before she was found Now her face etched in my mind Like 45s I can’t unwind Someday I will accept that she is gone And I’ll sing her song for everyone From all the folks she left behind A flood of tears has lands defined Wrapped up in days when she was here One moment to the next she disappeared Now memories they have replaced The laying of kisses on her face The warmth of her cheek here next to mine Here in this world I’ll never find So today put on your best The girl you loved is put to rest The lungs she used to sing sweetly Have failed and filled and no longer breathe Now I lay me down to sleep The pray the Lord my soul to keep And if I die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take These would be my dying words Your ghostly voice it cries for me Out from the static the radio bleeds Gold trees fell and winter came I whispered these notes all filled with pain A hush has silenced the town today Like new fallen snow in the field where she lays Eyes from clouds they softly weep As her body returns to the ground beneath
