When I'm Gone - Shawn James

Bury my heart in a willow tree

The branches give rise to the lowest leaves

Find shelter and shade in my arms

Once I am gone don’t mourn for me

I hope you take pride in what I used to be

Let go of all your pain

Will you remember me when I’m gone?

Or will you forget all, all that I’ve done?

I’ve made mistakes that I can’t take back

I’m just a man both good and bad

Can you forgive all my wrongs?

Will you remember me when I’m gone?

And can you forgive all, all my wrongs?

Memories may fade

But what we create may stay

Time holds the key of fate

Only time can reveal the gate

Will you remember me when I’m gone?

Or will you forget all, all that I’ve done?

Memories may fade

But what we create may stay

Time holds the key of fate

Only time can reveal the gate
