When I die, I promise
To look you in the eye
And smile, but only if
You can make a promise too

Promise me you'll cry
And that it'll be the last time
Promise me you'll realize
You won't have to cry again

Promise me you'll smile
Once you know that though I'm gone
If I were to be alive right now
I'd be happier if you smiled

Promise me you'll live
Because even though I'm not
If you were dead, and I was alive
You know that all I'd do is cry

Promise me you'll dance
And don't you ever stop
Because when the music ends
It's the end of all my hope

My hope is that when I die you'll cry
And that it will be the last time
My hope is that you'll forget all those times
You and I ever had to cry

When I die I promise
If you can do all that
I promise you you'll never have to
I promise you I'll never die

But I promise you, when I'm alive
If you can't smile, live and dance
I promise you I won't cry for you
When your turn comes to die
