It frightens me when you come to mind
  The day you dropped in the shopping line
  And my heart beats faster when I think of all the signs
  When they carried you out your mouth was open wide
  The cat went astray and the dog did pine for days and days
  And we felt so guilty when we played you up
  When you were ill, so ill
  What sticks in my mind is the sweet jar
  On the sideboard. And your multicolored tea cosy
  What sticks in my mind is the dew-drop hanging off your nose
  Shrivelled up and blue
  And I'm getting older, too
  But I don't want to die like you
  Don't want to die like you
