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.

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...

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?

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.

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?
