When I’m Gone Songtext
von Bobby Bare

Will anybody know I′ve been here when I'm gone?
Will anything that I′ve done here live on?
Every man's allowed just so much time
And all you take along is what you leave behind

Will anybody know I've been here when I′m gone?
When I′m gone (when I'm gone)
When I′m gone (when I'm gone)
Oh, will anybody know I′ve been here when I'm gone?

Will anybody cry just a little bit when I′m gone?
Will anybody cry just a little bit when I'm gone?
Will the things I've tried so hopefully
All turn to dust alongside of me?


Will anybody know I′ve been here when I′m gone?
When I'm gone (when I′m gone)
When I'm gone (when I′m gone)
Oh, will anybody know I've been here when I′m gone?

Will anybody think about me when I'm gone?
Will anybody ever remember me when I'm gone?
Will they call me failure or success?
Did I really live or just exist?

Will anybody know I′ve been here when I′m gone?
When I'm gone (when I′m gone)
When I'm gone (when I′m gone)
Oh, will anybody know I've been here when I′m gone?

Will anybody know I've been here when I'm gone?
Will anybody know I′ve been here when I′m gone?
