Please don’t talk about me when I’m gone
Oh honey, though our friendship ceases from now on
And listen, if you can’t say anything real nice
It’s better not to talk at all is my advice
We’re parting, you go your way I’ll go mine
It’s best that we do
Here’s a kiss I hope that this brings lots of luck to you
Oh makes no difference how I carry on
Remember, please don’t talk about me when I’m gone
We’re parting, you go your way I’ll go mine
It’s best that we do
Here’s a kiss I hope that this brings lots of luck to you
Makes no difference how I carry on
Remember, please don’t talk about me
Please don’t talk about me
Please don’t talk about me when I’m gone
