I Hope That I Die... ©Craig Wolff, Mike Siegel 2009. I stopped putting up a fight When you steal the covers at night And leave me alone in the cold air All that talking in your sleep Makes me count a million sheep But it's nice to know that you're there While we lie in our bed A thought sneaks in my head As a hint of moonlight peeks through I hope that I die before you Some nights I turn and toss Thinking how Dad looked so lost As Mom was carried off in that hearse If my whole world was gone I wouldn't want to go on I pray the good Lord lets me go first It's so selfish and sad And it sure sounds bad May be cowardly but it's true I hope that I die before you Keep kicking me while you snore Tomorrow I'll come back for more... While we lie in our bed A thought sneaks in my head About the strongest love I ever knew I hope that I die before you Yeah, I'm lying next to a dream come true I hope that I die before you
