When the breath of life is in me no more...
Life behind me has closed the door,
and I am laid to my final rest~~~~~~~Dont cry for me;
Save your tears for things of life..
For joyous states,and ways of strife..
For things that are still alive ~~~~But dont cry for me;
I leave behind the life of me,
and look to death to set me free..
in hopes of Heavens doors ~~~~~~~So dont cry for me;
I have walked the streets I longed to walk,
Greeted people and stopped to talk..
And from them loves of many kinds,
They gave to me, they still are mine ~~~~So dont cry for me;
I have plucked forbidden fruit from the vine..
consumed it all to make it mine..
and when to life it made me blind.
I paid the price two times o're ~~~~~But dont cry for me;
I have tasted the nectar of love so rare..
that bathed me in it's tender care..
and made my heart take wings in flight,
and soar to heaven through love filled nights..
Perfect bliss was mine ~~~~~So dont cry for me;
Through the shadow of death I have traveled four times o're,
to deliver the babies that I adore.
I would gladly do it a dozen times more.
No other joy can compare ~~~~~~Dont cry for me;
I have tasted life in all it's flavors,
Some to keep and always savor..
Others pushed aside in pain..
never, never to try again.
I have reached to heaven and the depth of hell,..
in living life, and I have lived it well..
I would do it again if the choise was mine.
~~~~~~So dont cry for me
I have lived all that life had in store,
Nothing is left for me to explore..
No regrets have I ,so when I live no more..
I beg of you,I implore~~~~~Dont cry for me.
