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