Let this be the epitaph for my heart

Cupid put too much poison in the dart

This is the epitaph for my heart

Because it’s gone, gone, gone

And life goes on and on anon

And death goes on, world without end

And you’re not my friend

Who will mourn the passing of my heart?

Will its little droppings climb the pop chart?

Who’ll take its ashes and singing, fling

Them from the top of the Brill Building

And life goes on and dawn, and dawn

And death goes on, world without end

And you’re not my friend
