Let Me Be The First To Go
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lord I've never asked for any favors
And I'm not to deserving that I know
But when it's parting time for me and baby
Please let me be the first to go
Don't take the heart out of our family
Me and the kids would miss her so
I don't think I could live one day without her
So let me be the first to go
This happy home we share is her creation
It's warm and cheerful from her happy glow
She has so much more love to give than I do
So let me be the first to go
