Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone
Harry Connick Jr. · Triple Feature [2010]
Oh please, don't talk about me when I'm gone
Although our friendship ceases from now on
Hey Carmen, if you can't say anything real nice
The way it's better not to talk at all, that's my advice
We are parting you go your way
I'll go mine it's best that we do
Here's a little kiss
I hope that this brings lots of love to you
Makes no difference how I carry on
'Cause baby I know you'd better
Not talk about me when I'm gone
It makes no difference how I carry on
Remember please don't talk about me
I said, "Please don't talk about me"
Please don't talk about me
Where I am gone when I'm gone
Although our friendship ceases from now on
Hey Carmen, if you can't say anything real nice
The way it's better not to talk at all, that's my advice
We are parting you go your way
I'll go mine it's best that we do
Here's a little kiss
I hope that this brings lots of love to you
Makes no difference how I carry on
'Cause baby I know you'd better
Not talk about me when I'm gone
It makes no difference how I carry on
Remember please don't talk about me
I said, "Please don't talk about me"
Please don't talk about me
Where I am gone when I'm gone
Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone
