When I die, please let me depart in peace

Not in pain.

Death for me is a once-in-a-lifetime offer

No chance to play-it-again.

I’d like my passing to pass proper

Not as an organized show-stopper

I don’t know how or when I’ll die

Or how the audience will receive me,

And when the curtain falls

‘Twill be too late to reason why.

There’s just one chance, no time to dance

Around the possibilities

There’s just one path for one last-laugh.

Forget the sensibilities

I don’t like pain, and I don’t like rain,

I do like fun, blue sky, and sun

So when it’s time to draw the line

Please let me depart in peace -

Remember me for these -

“Sunny days, funny ways,

A warm embrace, a tender kiss”

Then let it end.

Like this.
