When I'm Gone Songtext
von Barbra Lica

There′s a tree in my old backyard
That never could work very hard
No it never grew fruit or leaves
It just stood there for all of those years

And I thought about this
From when we were kids
Oh to see how that tree carried on
And there he was tall
With cherries and all
Seems that everything's good when I′m gone

In the school on the old boulevard
There was paint chippin' off o' the walls
And the lights were as dim as our eyes
′Cause we′d learned how to sleep in disguise


And I thought about this
From when we were kids
And you'll never believe what I saw
They made it like new
From the ground to the roof
Seems that everything′s good when I'm gone

La la la la La la la, la la la la La la la la...
Now I sit here alone in my room
Making faces at pictures of you
I remember you cried when I said
It would somehow be us in the end

And I think about this
From when we were kids
′Cause you play in my mind like a song
She's pretty in white
She′s the love of your life
Seems that everything's good
When I'm gone
