[Verse 1]

Seems I'm waiting for a lifetime,
For my lifetime just to start;
Every day I hear the rhythm,
Of the beating of your heart.

I'm still growing for a while,
But one day I'll see your face;
You'll look down at me and smile,
As I rest in your embrace.

[Bridge]

But wait, what's happening? Something isn't right!
My feet are being pulled roughly toward the light,
And I'm not ready yet to go.

I guess that this is how its gonna be,
I'll die alone. Will you cry with me?
I guess that I will never know...

[Chorus]

But will you miss me when I'm gone?
Will you miss me when I'm gone?
Will you miss me when I'm gone?

[Verse 2]

Maybe I'd have been an artist,
Or an astronaut in space;
Could have even been the president,
Now I have no dreams to chase.

Cause I'll never see a sunrise,
And I'll never smell a rose;
I will never hear a symphony,
Or get to play in winter snows.

So many friends I'll never know,
So many sights I'll never see,
So many hopes I haven't hoped yet,
So many things I'll never be.

[Chorus]

But will you miss me when I'm gone?
Will you miss me when I'm gone?
Will you miss me when I'm gone?
Do you miss me now I'm gone?
