When I Die
When I die, I want not to suffer,
I don't want to die in the water,
I don't want to die with a disease,
i want to die with ease,
I want it to be fast,
but I want it to be slow,
I want to live long enough to tell my man
how I love him so
i don't want him to die of a broken heart,
i want him to live with a new start,
and when he does die I will see him-
I will see him standing at the pearly gates
and will jump joyfully into his arms,
And tell him he's late.
