And as people stand around. watchin me
Knowin that I have to go.
I keep thinkin of times we used to know.
I wonder. What will happen to you?
When I'm gone. When I'm gone -

As I'm leavin. I won't say goodbye.
Sad farewells are not for me.
I'll just wonder if this is what should be.
And I wonder what will happen to me?
When I'm gone. When I'm gone.

I will wander thru the countryside.
Havin nothin' else to do.
I won't think a thought .
My mind is turnin blue.
And I wonder. What will happen to you?
When I'm gone. When I'm gone
