lyrics

When I'm on my deathbed
What will be going through my head?
Will I be satisfied
With what I did before I died?

When I'm minutes from the end
Will I want to start all over again?
What will be the things that I miss?
What will be the things that I wish I'd done when I was young?

I'm years away from that day
But it won't be long

I know that my life is nothing more
than a whisper
than the blink of an eye

And it's sad that all the things we work for
and all the things we have in life
will go with us when we die

The sooner we realize
that it's all just temporary
The sooner we'll find

That the most important things
are not what we have
but what we leave behind

When I'm on my deathbed
what will be going through my head?
