Name: If I Go First
Duration: P00H01M20S
Description: I wrote the lyrics to the song with the thought of death in my mind and that feeling of leaving a loved one, may it be physically, emotionally or spiritually.

lyrics

If I go first
Will you cry for me?
Will you come see me go?

If I go first
Will you say goodbye last?
Will I see a tear before I turn?

I wonder every night
If ever I don't see the light
once more

If I go first
Will you cry for me?
Will you come see me go?

If I go first
Will you say goodbye last?
Will I see a tear before I turn?

If I go first
If I go first
If I go first
