AI GeneratedThis poignant lyrical piece serves as a reminder to cherish loved ones while they are still alive. It explores the regret and futility of expressing love and affection after someone has passed away, urging the listener to prioritize presence and communication in the present moment rather than offering tributes to a grave.
After I am gone, you'll knock upon my door
And wish you'd come to see me when I was here before
You'll see my empty chair and my old coat hanging there
And finally have the time for me when I'm no longer there
After I am gone, you'll call my old phone twice
Just hoping for my voice again no matter what the price
You'll think about the Sundays you said you'd come around
You'll finally want to talk to me when I can't make a sound
After you'll have so much to say
You'll bring me all those flowers you never brought today
You'll tell me that you love me
You'll stand there in the rain
But I won't need your flowers then
I needed you today
Don't tell me that you cared
I needed your love while I was living
I needed you right there
You'll find an old photograph and stare into my eyes
Remember every little thing
You thought you'd have more time
The coffee we never finished
The words we left unsaid
Funny how we love somebody more
When we're standing by their bed
So don't wait until the preacher
Says my name before you cry
Don't wait until six strong hands carry me outside
If there's something you should tell me
Come tell me while I'm here
Because I can't hold you now
I can't hold you from somewhere
After you'll have so much to say
Your wishful thought
You threw so many days away
Don't bring a thousand roses
And whisper that you care
Bring one flower while I'm living
Sit beside me in this chair
And if you love me
Don't save it for my stone
Come see me while I'm living
Not after I am gone
