[Verse 1] The clock keeps ticking, the days grow thin I feel the quiet settling in But if the light should leave my eyes And I can’t hold you one more time [Chorus] I’ll still love you when I’m gone Through the silence, through the dawn In every breeze that finds your face In every empty, sacred space I’ll still love you when I’m gone My heart won’t stop, it just moves on [Verse 2] Lay me down beneath the trees Where the wind can carry me If you ever need to feel me near Just close your eyes — I’m still right here [Chorus] I’ll still love you when I’m gone Through the silence, through the dawn In every star that lights the night In every tear that falls just right I’ll still love you when I’m gone This love of mine will carry on [Bridge] Don’t you waste a single day Thinking love just fades away It’s deeper than the ground I’ll rest It’s stronger than this beating chest [Final Chorus] I’ll still love you when I’m gone Long after the last goodbye is sung In every breath you take alone You’ll feel me there — you’re not alone I’ll still love you when I’m gone Forever yours, my only one
