I'LL BE GONE

(Written in 1992 by Thavrith Bunkasem)

To the ones I love and whom I will miss                                    

Please let me go and say goodbye
Please
stop
those tears                                            
and give me smile
 
I'll be gone,
Gone away and f a r
I'll be gone,
Gone to A f r i c a
 I will soar to the highest range                                                    
seeing things thru the winds of change
 
Let me go
Pray for me
Don't say no
Let me be
 
I will leave this place that I will miss
I'll go away from this m e t r o p o l i s
 
I'll be gone, gone with you
I'll be gone, gone without you
 
I'll be gone,
You'll be gone,
 
...in Tears
...in Silence
 
I'll be gone
Gone with love
