Lyrics
On the day I die
You better dance, don't cry
'Cause 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 it (whoa, whoa), oh yeah, hmm
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 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 (on the day I die, oh yeah)
(No-no-no-no, no, no)
On the day, on the day I die (whoa, whoa)
On the day I die, on the day I die, yeah (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
