(0.22)
If I don't wake
In the morning
if my eyes don't
Flutter open
If my chest fails
To keep breathing
If my heart stops
Beating

(chorus)
Cry for me!
Don't want you to
Cry for me!
Please don't
Cry for me!
Don't want you to
Cry for me!

(1.05)
I want you to know
I've lived my life to full
Never looked back
Or regreted, so
Please believe me
When I tell you
That I loved life
Loved you too
But life is over
Can't comeback
Angel wings beat
From my back
I have moved on
To a better place
And so I leave you
With one last wish

(chorus)
Cry for me!
Don't want you to
Cry for me!
Please don't
Cry for me!
Don't want you to
Cry for me!

Cry for me!

Angel wings

Cry for me!

Angel wings

(repeat and ad-lib to end)
