When your life is over I won´t be sad or bluer
I´ll put on my fancy hat, lie down next to you
I´ll kiss you once for life; I´ll kiss you twice for death
Hold you close for comfort, wearing my best dress

You look so angry when you sleep, your face a troubled frown
So I will smooth your furrowed brow as I lay in the ground
I´ll kiss you once for life; I´ll kiss you twice for death
I´ll hold you close for comfort, wearing my best dress

And as the mourners pass me, I will smile and wave
Thank them for their sympathy and tell them I´ll be brave
But once the wake is over, and I´m drunk and feeling fine
I´ll go out there and find me another boy to pass the time

As we´re dancing cheek to cheek and the lights are laid low
I´ll request this song for you, saying into the ground below
Once the song is over, I decide to go to bed
I´ll leave him on the dance floor and return to you instead

I´ll kiss you once for life; I´ll kiss you twice for death
I´ll hold you close for comfort, wearing my best dress
