My Best Dress
When your life is over I won't be sad or blueI'll put on my fancy hat, lie down next to youI'll kiss you once for life; I'll kiss you twice for deathHold you close for comfort, wearing my best dress
You look so angry when you sleep, your face a troubled frownSo I will smooth your furrowed brow as I lay in the groundI'll kiss you once for life; I'll kiss you twice for deathI'll hold you close for comfort, wearing my best dress
And as the mourners pass me, I will smile and waveThank them for their sympathy and tell them I'll be braveBut once the wake is over, and I'm drunk and feeling fineI'll go out there and find me another boy to pass the time
As we're dancing cheek to cheek and the lights are laid lowI'll request this song for you, laying in the ground belowOnce the song is over, I decide to go to bedI'll leave him on the dance floor and return to you instead
I'll kiss you once for life; I'll kiss you twice for deathI'll hold you close for comfort, wearing my best dress
