Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone
Clare Sidney/Sam H. Stept
Additional lyrics by M. Civisca
Appears on Love Is Like A Breeze

Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
Though our friendship ceases from now on
And if you can't say anything real nice
Don't talk at all is my advise

You go your way and I'll go mine, It's best that we do
Here's a kiss, I hope that this brings lots of luck to you

Well it makes no difference how I carry on
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone

Please don't talk about me now that we're through
You know baby, I've been good to you
And if you can't say anything real nice
Shut your mouth, my friend, that's my advice

Let's split the CDs, you take the Streisand
I'll take the Basie and swing
You can take the Caddy, I'll take the Lexus
And you can even keep the ring

So let's just part and try to carry on
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone

You go your way and I'll go mine, It's best, baby, that we do
Here's a kiss, I hope that this brings lots of luck to you

Well it makes no difference how I carry on
Please don't talk about me
Not one word 'bout me
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone

Please don't talk about me
And I won't talk about you

* ‘Cause when love congeals
It soon reveals, the faint aroma of performing seals
Those furtive sighs - the blackened eye
The words "I love you – ‘til the day I die"
The self deception that believes the lie)
So not one word about me
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone

*(Improvised during the recording from the Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart song "I Wish I Were
In Love Again"
