When I will cease to be
When I will cease to be
What difference would it make to thee?
Just three days of mourn
Then the melancholy would be gone
Few drops of tears for me
Then you will continue your symphony
My lovers will find new love
No more letters with white dove
My place will not be bare
To replace me someone is there
And memories will remain only
when I will cease to be
No difference would it make to thee
No heart would be wretched for me
While I thought I was The Key
Proved it was all a fancy
No moon will shine for me
When I will cease to be
