I saw a robin flying in the snow Fluttering low Isn't the season, how could he not know? It's much too cold I saw a robin captive to the wind Time, running thin I said, "Dear robin, what a state you're in You can't get out again" And just like that Simple as the sight of feathered wings The robin was gone And only I saw this bird of spring Sing one very last winter song And who will miss you when you're gone? Who will miss you when you're gone? I will miss you if you go away Please, don't leave me here Candle's burned out now Stayed up 'til the wax dripped, to the floor I was talking to you, can't seem to let go So we say one thing more And you're like rain falling in the evening Whispering, darlin', go to sleep Oh, the pain, this love has got me reelin' Brings me to my knees, so bittersweet And who will miss you when you're gone? Who will miss you when you're gone? I will miss you if you go away Please, don't leave me here The good, the bad, the in-between Is it all just one impermanent dream? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh And here I am as the sun slinks slowly In the pale steel sky and where are you? Are you thinking of me As the moon above you does rise? And who will miss me when I'm gone? Who will miss me when I'm gone? Would you miss me should I go away? I won't leave you here Would you miss me should I go away? I won't leave you here
