Promise Me

Promise me something, my dear, my love,
My sweet and beautiful dove.
Promise me that when i die,
That your eyes will stay dry and you wont cry.
You'll live your life freely,
Do things that make you happy.
You wont let people bring you down,
Of taint your beautiful face with a frown.
You will live a long life,
Never again to pick up a knife.
You will always keep trying,
No matter how much you feel like dying.
It is my time to die and im going alone,
Only when you are old will you come home.
Please my dear just be brave,
Dont think of my lying in my grave.
I'll me waiting for you but please dont hurry,
Live a long life without any worry.
Goodbye love, for now i must leave,
I just beg you make these promises to me.
