I have oft times sat and wondered
And dreamed of days gone by
Of the vows you've held so true, dear
Who you'd love if I should die

Today, our sky I know is clear, dear
Still the hours may clouds bring on
So I'll ask of you, my darling
Who will you love when I'm gone?

You promised, dear, that no other
Could win a love so strong
But my heart will ask its question
Who will you love when I'm gone?

Today, our sky I know is clear, dear
Still the hours may clouds bring on
So I'll ask of you, my darling
Who will you love when I'm gone?

Life more shall soon be over
And down the rugged stream I'll go
Where my heart shall know no sadness
Where the storm clouds never blow

Today, our sky I know is clear, dear
Still the hours may clouds bring on
So I'll ask of you, my darling
Who will you love when I'm gone?

When you gaze upon my casket
And watch as I'm carried on
Then ask yourself, my darling
Who will you love when I'm gone?

Today, our sky I know is clear, dear
Still the hours may clouds bring on
So I'll ask of you, my darling
Who will you love when I'm gone?
