And she has a man with two arms open wide who will take her in when she's gone
We sit together and talk about our faith
Though she's glad to be with me
Now she spends her days with a mission to live
When she's gone
And dreams of the days when we'll all finally meet
We hope we never know
Oh, she's gone
When she's gone. When she's gone. When she's gone
Oh, when she's gone
When she's gone, she's gone. She's gone
She has a pretty young daughter back home
She knows darn well that her next life awaits when she's gone
She's gone. She's gone. When she's gone
She loves to laugh, and will offer a hand to forgive
She fights through the pain and she smiles when she sleeps. (Smiles when she sleeps)
When she's gone. When she's gone. When she's gone
Who'll soon start to cry when she's gone
She's gone away. She's gone away
We play a game where we'll sing all our troubles away
Oh, no. (When she's gone)
She often says that she lives in a world we'll never know
