I Want you to be there when I Die

from Winter Break by David F. Bello

lyrics

my dear, you know ill always love you
i know this may sound trite
but when i see other girls
in college i just might
remove the jewelry you made
out of paper, ink, and stones
to sleep with other girls
when im too lonely to think of you at home

i assume after all this fun and good times
someday ill get tired
i will need some safety net
for whenever i retire
i want to be there when you die

when my hair turns to white
and i choose to settle down
ill send the letter i will write
and come back to town
and i pray youll still be there
to keep my yearbook warm
we can live in my childhood home
where our children, too, will be born

but i grew up where the mall is now
in '97 as a result of business decisions made
on top of that, youve got a child on the way
and your new boyfriend has already got one in the first grade
i want to be there when he dies

my friends, theyve all left
its just me and my collapse
ive been meaning to call you sometime
between my naps
ive missed you all these years
when i moved you even cried
and as my heart beats for the last time
i want you, here, at my side

im starting to lose sight
i doubt ill last the night
i want you be here when i die

i want you to there when i die
