Hope
Isn't she the greatest looking girl?
I saw her at the fillmore yesterday holding hands
With him
Another kid who goes here to this school
Went with him over me cuz she thought I wasn't cool and I sang
Don't be sad for me
Don't be sad for me now
For me now
Don't be sad for me
Don't be sad for me now
For me now
Joan
Isn't she the greatest woman grown
She and I had to fly to France to fight in the war
Joan
Told me that she kissed another soldier
I think I knew that guy he could fly because he was a pilot
Don't be sad for me
Don't be sad for me now
For me now
It's been a long long life down here
So many heartbreakers on the pier
So I sail away on my own to get my life on track
Gotta see the girls who cut me so much slack
Growing up it's a tough time being a dad
Two daughters who don't know that it's bad
They think I'm on my way back home
But the truth is I've got a ways to go
Doctor said "don't you wanna tell them?"
Hell no. I don't want Hope and Joan
Knowing that their dad is passing away
I wanna die the way I lived - in a quiet way
So long as I leave behind
Two daughters who I love more than cherry pie
That's the kind of life I'd like to pass along I said
No regrets at all, no regrets at all
Don't be sad for me
Don't be sad for me now
For me now
