And When I Die Lyrics by Karen Carpenter

0

I'm not scared of dying
I don't really care
If there's peace you find in dying
Well then, let the time be near
If there's peace you find in dying
And if dying time is here
You just bundle up in my coffin
'Cause it's cold way down there
Said it's cold way down there
Said it's crazy cold down there
And when I die, when I'm gone
There'll be one child born in this world to carry on
And when I die, when I'm dead and gone
There'll be one child born in this world to carry on
Now troubles, there are many
They're as deep as a well
I can swear there ain't no heaven
But I pray there ain't no hell
Oh I swear there ain't no heaven
But I'll pray there ain't no hell
But I'll never know by livin'
Only dyin' time will tell
Yeah, my dyin' time will tell
Said my dyin' time will tell
And when I die, when I'm gone
There'll be one child born in this world to carry on
When I die, when I'm dead and gone
There'll be one child born in this world to carry on
Don't want to go by devil
Don't want to go by demon
Don't want to go by Satan
Just let me go in
Don't want to go
Don't want to go
Don't want to go
Just let me go
