When I'm Gone

When I'm gone
When I'm gone
Take me out into my cornfields
Set me deep
Lay me low
When I've crossed over
And these fields will be
My legacy
When I'm gone.

When I'm gone
Come what may
When I'm with my Lord in Heaven
I'll look down
At this place
When I've crossed over
Let it stay somehow
Like it is right now
When I'm gone.

Oh, when I was born
I had tomorrows stretched before me
But the yesterdays piled up
From that day on.

When I'm gone
When I'm gone
I will see the clouds below me
And my child
And his child
When I've crossed over.

Let them feel the pride
That I've kept inside
When I'm gone.

Oh, when I was born
I had tomorrows stretched before me
But the yesterdays piled up
From that day on.

When I'm gone
When I'm gone
I'll sing Glory, Hallelujah!
For my work
Will be done
When I've crossed over
And I know you'll know
That I loved you so
When I'm gone.

ANd this love will be
ALl that's left of me
When I'm gone.
