The Dead Question - Ct
I smiled when you gave me a rose
How many more would come my way?
I do not know, God only knows,
Why people are so kind today?
When I was alive, no one cared,
Some ignored me, some simply stared,
Now that I'm gone, all are crying,
Will that bring me back from dying?
When you gave me a rose, I smiled
my way...how many more would come?
God only knows, I do not know
today...why people are so kind?
Spread smiles, send flowers when we live,
What'll I do now with what you give?
