Don't love me when I'm gone!

Love me sweet, love me tender
Don’t love when I’m gone
Don’t love me when the sweet abyss consumes me.
Don't want to haunt your dreams but your every waking moment.
Be with me now, hold my hand
Keep me in your loving arms
Don’t love me when I’m gone.

Love me sweet, love tender
Don’t love when I’m gone
Don’t remember to pick up the phone when I’m gone
No, there won’t be my sweet voice, only the realisation it’s now nothing but a number
Don’t love me when all you can say is I wish
Love me now; don’t love me when I’m gone

Love me sweet, love me tender
Don’t love me when I’m gone
Don’t wish you could have told me my eyes were beautiful
Or that you love the sound of my laughter
Or that your heart skips a beat when you see me
Love me now, out loud not with your regret.

Love me sweet, love me tender
Don’t love me when I’m gone
Don’t miss me more when I’m no more
Miss me now and be with me
Don’t shed tears of sorrow when I’m gone
Shed tears of joy now when I’m with you
Don’t tell God He should have given me another day
Here I am yet weeks pass by
Love me sweet, love me tender!
Love me now.
