I'm Here For A Short Visit Only

I'm Here For A Short Visit Only - Noel Coward

I'm here for a short visit only,
And I'd rather be loved than hated.
Eternity may be lonely
When my body's disintegrated;
And that which is loosely termed my soul
Goes whizzing off through the infinite
By means of some vague remote control.
I'd like to think I was missed a bit.

Noel Coward
