At a country church not far from where I came from
I was payin' last respects to my old friend
When it came time the congregation stood up
And it looked like that whole town came out for him
Well it got me to thinking have I done all I can do?
Have I lived in such a way that when my time is through?
Did I love deep enough?
That my friends knew I cared, was I willing to share?
Did I give up myself?
Did the world out there know that I was even here?
Did I take or did I serve?
Will they celebrate my life here on Earth?
Who's gonna be there?
To say goodbye
Well I know he didn't have a dime to speak of
But I swear he was the richest man I knew
He left quite an impression on the heartstrings
Of every soul he chanced to run into
There's no one he wouldn't talk to
No man he wouldn't help
As we laid him in the ground, once again I asked myself
Did I love deep enough?
That my friends knew I cared, was I willing to share?
Did I give up myself?
Did the world out there know that I was even here?
Did I take or did I serve?
Will they celebrate my life here on Earth?
Who's gonna be there?
To say goodbye
Who's gonna be there?
To say goodbye
