I hope your new love after me
Is all the things I couldn't be
I'm gonna miss you, Curly
More than I can say

I'll miss the way rain makes
Your golden hair all curly
I'll miss so many little things
You say and do
That make you, you

Like how you're grumpy
When I wake you up too early
I know you're leaving
And there's nothing I can do

I'm gonna miss you, Curly
When you go away
I'm just a simply guy
Who couldn't make you stay

I hope your new love after me
Is all the things I couldn't be
I'm gonna miss you, Curly
More than I can say

I never have been independant
As you know, girl
And it's been good to
Have your love to lean upon
When things went wrong

But all that's over now
I know you're gonna go, love
Who will I have to lean on
Curly, when you're gone

I'm gonna miss you, Curly
When you go away
I'm just a simply guy
Who couldn't make you stay

I hope your new love after me
Is all those things I couldn't be
I'm gonna miss you, Curly
More than I can say

I hope your new love after me
Is all those things I couldn't be
I'm gonna miss you, Curly
More than I can say

I hope your new love after me
Is all those things I couldn't be
