When I Am No Longer

As I Set Beside the Shore Line
Watching the Evening Sun,
I Contemplate My Life,
And the Things I've Left Undone.

I'll Never Have a Second Chance,
To Change Things in the Past,
But the Things I'll Do in the Future,
Shall Be Good and Will Surely Last.

There Are People in My Life,
That Don't Know How Much I Care.
I Need to Let Them Know,
 Times Were Good We Had to Share.

I Know I'm Not the Only One
That Needs to Say What I Feel,
But it Would Be Much Better,
To Let Them Know My Love Is Real.

So I'd like to Take this Time,
To Let You Know How Much I Care
Please Keep These Words in Your Heart,
When I'm No Longer There.
