May I miss you
May I sing a song in your name
For I leave this morning
Never to come back this way
Think of me when your head sleeps on your pillow
For our guns will well be drawn in the sunset fire at fall

May I think of you
Will you help me through
May I miss you

Cast off your doubts till they march you away with me
Four long winters since my bed is in company
Think of me being active, lost and lonely
For I've been through this before
And I've lost my heart and more

I won't do it again
I can't lose another friend
May I miss you

I've lived my life in the sun
I've lived my life so hard
I lived my life and I'll die
'Cause everything dies
But it don't seem right

May I miss you
(May I miss you)
May I sing a song in your name
(Tell me so I know)
For I leave this morning
(Leave this morning)
Never to come back this way
(Now I'll never go)

Think of me being active, lost and lonely
(Won't you tell me so I know)
For I've been through this before
(Been through this before)
And I've lost my heart and more
(Lost my heart and more)

I won't do it again
I can't lose another friend
May I miss you

I've lived my life in the sun
I've lived my life so hard
I lived my life and I'll die
'Cause everything dies
But it don't seem right

Before the week I'll try
To leave something to remember me by
It's so much better when it, it lasts forever
Easy to say goodbye

I've lived my life in the sun
I've lived my life so hard
I lived my life and I'll die
'Cause everything dies

I've lived my life in the sun
I've lived my life so hard
I lived my life and I'll die
'Cause everything dies
But it don't seem right
