On the Day I Die

On the day I die You better dance, don't cry 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 (whoa, whoa) And 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 I 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 And 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 (whoa, whoa) (Whoa, whoa) On the day, on the day I die, oh (whoa, whoa) (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 --- On the Day I Die - The Shires
