Death got up early that morning
And as he does took his coffee black
Had a big day of filling his quota
Going door to door to take life back
Taking life back
Taking life back
Knock knock knock who could it be?
The man got up from watching TV
And just like that his day turned grim
Raised to be polite he invited death in
He invited death in
He invited death in
And so I wrote this song
And I sing it every day
To keep a happy heart
So death will let me stay
Why oh why have you come for me?
The man cried out and started to plea
I've got so much more I want to do
Please tell me Death so I can see life through
I want to see life through
Please let me see life through
And so I wrote this song
And I sing it every day
To keep a happy heart
So death will let me stay
Stay with you my sons
Stay with you my love
Death replied you've been sad as can be
Forgetting yourself and your family
If you wanna live than you've gotta smile
Do this for me I'll let you stay for a while
Let you stay for a while
Death let him stay for a while
And so I wrote this song
And I sing it every day
To keep a happy heart
So death will let me stay
And so I wrote this song
And I sing it every day
To keep a happy heart
So death will let me stay
And so I wrote this song
And I sing it every day
To keep a happy heart
So death will let me stay
