I'm a vapour, here today, gone tomorrow Don't want to live my life here with a heart full of sorrow I'm a vapour, here today, gone tomorrow Don't want to live my life here with a heart full of sorrow Life is short was said By a man who is now dead Those things you wish you said You can't say them to the dead You can't say them to the dead Some people die when they're 40 But they're not buried 'till they're 75 Just because your heart is beating Doesn't mean that you're alive I'm a vapour, here today, gone tomorrow Don't want to live my life here with a heart full of sorrow I'm a vapour, here today, gone tomorrow Don't want to live my life here with a heart full of sorrow Through all his years of life He thought that he might Look to the one above Who he'd seen work through the ones he loved But after all was said The idea stayed in his head He did not follow through And all he left was an empty bed I'm a vapour, here today, gone tomorrow Don't want to live my life here with a heart full of sorrow I'm a vapour, here today, gone tomorrow Don't want to live my life here with a heart full of sorrow Oh, the saddest thing I ever saw Was a man that did not know Which way to turn, which way to go Finished his life on his own I'm a vapour, here today, gone tomorrow Don't want to live my life here with a heart full of sorrow I'm a vapour, here today, gone tomorrow Don't want to live my life here with a heart full of sorrow
