When I'm Gone Songtext
von Jackie DeShannon

I was cold, the wind was blowin′
And I had no place to hide
I had to beg the brakeman for a ride
When a voice I knew came callin'
He said "All the rest have fallen"
But I will not forget you
When I′m gone

No, I will not forget you
When I'm gone

Truer words were never spoken
And vows were never broken
I could never break them if I tried
But my heart has caught the notion
That love receives devotion
Oh, I will not forget you
When I'm gone


I will not forsake you
I won′t be untrue
I will not forget you
When I′m gone

I jumped upon the last train
And caught it on the run
I could never stop that risin' sun
Whoa, you know, I never miss it
You see, I-I can′t afford to risk it
I will not forget you
When I'm gone

I wanna tell you now
Will not forget you
When I′m gone
You know, I wanna, wanna
And I will not forget you
When I'm gone
