When IÂ’m gone
DonÂ’t need to wonder if I ever think of you
The same moon shines
The same wind blows
For both of us, and time is but a paper moon. . . be not gone

Though IÂ’m gone
ItÂ’s just as though I hold the flower that touches you
A new life grows
The blossom knows
ThereÂ’s no one else could warm my heart as much as you. . . be not gone

Let us cling together as the years go by
Oh my love, my love
In the quiet of the night
Let our candle always burn
Let us never lose the lessons we have learned

Teo torriate konomama iko
Aisuruhito yo
Shizukana yoi ni
Hikario tomoshi
Itoshiki oshieo idaki

Hear my song
Still think of me the way youÂ’ve come to think of me
The nights grow long
But dreams live on
Just close your pretty eyes and you can be with me. . . dream on

When IÂ’m gone
TheyÂ’d say weÂ’re all fools and we donÂ’t understand
Oh be strong
DonÂ’t turn your heart
WeÂ’re all
YouÂ’re all
For all
For always. . .
