Farewell Party

When the last breath of life
Is gone from my body
And my lips are as cold as the sea
When my friends gather 'round
For my farewell party
Won't you pretend you love me?

There'll be flowers from those
Who cry when I'm gone
And leave you in this world alone
I know you'll have fun
At my farewell party
I know you'll be glad when I'm gone

Don't be mad at me for wanting to keep you
'Til my life on this old world is through
You'll be free at the end of my farewell party
But I'll go away loving you

There'll be flowers from those
Who cry when I'm gone
And leave you in this ol' world alone
I know you'll have fun
At my farewell party
I know you'll be glad when I'm gone
Oh, I know you'll be glad when I'm gone
