May I sing a song in your name
Never to come back this way
Think of me when your head sleeps on your pillow
For our guns will well be drawn in the sunset fire at fall
Cast off your doubts till they march you away with me
Four long winters since my bed is in company
Think of me being active, lost and lonely
For I've been through this before
And I've lost my heart and more
I can't lose another friend
I've lived my life in the sun
I've lived my life so hard
I lived my life and I'll die
May I sing a song in your name
Never to come back this way
Think of me being active, lost and lonely
(Won't you tell me so I know)
For I've been through this before
(Been through this before)
and I've lost my heart and more
I can't lose another friend
I've lived my life in the sun
I've lived my life so hard
I lived my life and I'll die
To leave something to remember me by
It's so much better when it, it lasts forever
I've lived my life in the sun
I've lived my life so hard
I lived my life and I'll die
I've lived my life in the sun
I've lived my life so hard
I lived my life and I'll die
