If, By Chance, I Should Die

If, by chance,
I should die
I do not expect
For you to cry
I do not expect
For you to weep
Or mourn my passing,
My eternal sleep

I do not wish
For you to suffer
That’s why my emotions
Are often in cover
For I do not want
To see you sad
Since I’ve tried so hard
Not to make you mad

If, by chance,
I should part from this life
I do hope that you
Would onward strife
And not pause a second
To think of me
Or think of the time
Us spent as we

Because when that day
Does come to pass
And my reflection disappears
From my looking glass
I do not wish
For you to endure
Any pain brought
From door to door

If, by chance,
I should breathe my last breath
Then I’m sure one time
We will meet in death
But until that time
I shall say farewell
And disappear
Just like a spell
