On the Day I Die

On the day I die

You better dance, don't cry

Baby, I'll be leaving on a high

On the day I die

Find the keys to my old car

Pray it starts and take it for a drive

Roll the windows down

Turn the music up

Start singing (Whoa, whoa)

Get lost in a song

And take the wrong road home

Like I always used to

If I did one thing right

It was you and I

Oh, I loved you

I'll always love you

So play it loud all night

If I'm not by your side

I'm up above you

I'll always love you

I've had a good, good life

So, darling, dance, don't cry

On the day I die

On the day I die

I want nothing left unspoken

I can't rely on hoping that you know

So dry your eyes

'Cause I don't plan on dying yet

Just take my hand

How I lucky I am

The only life I get

I get to hold you close

With the lights down low

And dance real slow (Whoa, whoa)

When you hear this song

When I'm gone

I know that you'll know

If I did one thing right

It was you and I

Oh, I loved you

I'll always love you

So play it loud all night

If I'm not by your side

I'm up above you

I'll always love you

I've had a good, good life

So, darling, dance, don't cry

On the day I die

On the day I die (Whoa, whoa)

(Whoa, whoa)

On the day, on the day I die, oh (Whoa, whoa)

(Whoa, whoa)

On the day I die

You better dance, don't cry

Oh baby, I'll be leaving on a high

On the day I die
