long after the sun goes down
you can put away your mourning gown
ain't no reason to be sad
your sorrows should be drowned
just think of me and
I'll still be around

when you think you've said goodbye
when you can no longer try
you can hold your head up high
there's no reason left to frown
cos you know that I'll still be around

you might think that I am gone
but my soul will carry on
and there's nothing they can do
but put me in the ground
but I tell you this
I will still be around

and when you take it all away
all the dreams
and little games we used to play
and save them for another day
I tell you, you've all got it wrong
can't you hear my favourite song
I was lost but now I'm found
and I'll still be around

and life can be so hard
so very very hard
you don't know which way to turn
you think that you might crash and burn
but you'll never crash and burn
you'll always hear my sound
and I'll always be around

and it just ain't fair
that those that got it just don't want it
and those that have it just don't care
don't throw it all away
you can't throw it all away
just because you think
you're not having a nice day
you're not having a very nice day

and treasure it, it's all you have
don't lose the only thing you have
don't throw it all away
you can't throw it all away
cos you're not having a nice day

so please listen to my swan song
I promise it won't go on long
how they tried to make me pay
for things I never meant to say
how wrong they were to try to say
it's all over now we're all the same
we're all playing the same game
this is what I found
and I'll still be around
I'll always be around
