By Time You Read This

By time you read this...
I'll be gone
I'll have left into the night
I'll have disappeared from your life
I'll be but a distant memory

By time you read this...
I'll be a ghost in time
I'll be dust in the wind
I'll be nothing more than a long ago mistake

By time you read this....
I'll have left behind my smile
I'll be half way around the world
I'll be nothing more than nothing

By time you read this...
I'll be flying high
I'll be rid of this world
I'll be free

By time you read this...
I'll be gone
