Who Will Sing for Me [core]

Oft I sing for my friends, As death's cold form I see
When I reach my journey's end, Who will sing for me

Chorus
I won- (I wonder) der who, Will sing (will sing) for me
When I come to the cross of the silent sea
Who will sing (who will sing) for me

When crowds shall gather round, And look down on me
Will they turn and walk away, Or will they sing one song for me

So I'll sing 'til the end, And helpful try to be
Assured that some friends, Will sing one song for me
