Lyrics

Please don't talk about me when I'm gone Though our friendship ceases from now on And listen, if you can't say anything real nice It's better not to talk at all, that's my advice We're parting, you go your way I'll go mine, it's best that we do Here's a kiss, I hope that this brings lots of luck to you Makes no difference how I carry on Just don't you talk about me when I'm gone Please don't talk about me when I'm gone Though our friendship ceases from now on And listen, if you can't say anything real nice Just don't talk at all, that's my advice We're parting, you go your way I'll go mine, it's best that we do But here's a little kiss and I hope That this brings lots of luck to you Makes no difference how I carry on Just don't talk, please don't talk Don't you talk about me when I'm gone
