will the slow violins play
on the day I say goodbye
on the day I leave this world
will many come and cry
will my name be long forgotten
as the ones who know me die
and the memories
they slowly fade away

rejoice my friends for I am free
the Lord has brought me home
and as I pass I rest in Him
Redeemer of my soul

did the slow violins play
on the day I said goodbye
I know I will see you again.
