If I should die before you wake
pray the lord my soul to take, take me away, the music plays
do not cry do not shed a tear I lived my life without fear
please do not morn me now
just hold my fire in your hands and in your heart
and remember my song goes on
angels were singing dance and sway blues on my funeral song
please place the lilies on my stone and remember my song goes onspread my ashes on the west coast
get together and tell some jokes
make some music for me now
been around this old world and friend
please do not cry for me
just let me go
and hold my fire in your hands and in your heart
and remember the song goes on
angels were singing dance and sway to the blues on my funeral day
please place the lily on my stone
and remember my song goes onlook for me in the open sky
feel me close in the moonlight
do not be afraid
hold me close in tallest tree
hear my whisper on the ocean breeze
I will always be there
just hold my fire in your hands and in your heart
and remember my song goes on
angels were singing dance and sway to blues on my funeral day
please place some lilies on my stone and remmber my song goes on
ummm remember ummm remember the lily
remember the lily and let me go
remember the lily remember the lily
remember the lily and let me go
remember the lily remember the lily
remember the lily let me go....
