Lyrics

Before I take my final breath
Let me be of some consequence
I need to have a legacy
Something more than property
What I want to give away
Are in these words I say

Give my heart to the true romantics
To the revelers give my antics
Give the girls my stolen glances
I wish I had a few more chances
Give the host my glad acceptance
And the guests my fond remembrance

And I have just one thing left to do
With all my love I give it to you
So darling, don't be blue

To the world give my rock and roll
Just save a little for my soul
My rhythm to the crowded dance floor
Where I first saw you near the door
To the dark give me lullabyes
To the judge my alibis

And I have just one thing left to do
With all my love, I give it to you
So darling, don't be blue

To the poets give my finest verse
And broken hearts I tried to nurse
To the world give my greatest deeds
And all of my humility
Any truth that I have found
You can spread that all around

And I have just one thing left to do
With all my love, I give it to you
So darling, don't be blue
