Funeral Song

Let there be music, let there be flowers Let there be half-stale coffee in a pot Decaf or not, it's not waking me Let there be speeches, read all my journals Find the entries where I said I loved Everyone, and then let them be Then lay me to rest under a willow tree Call all the family, make the arrangements Give what I had to my brother And all other questions, hold them please Then lay me to rest under a willow tree I did my best, please believe Tell them my story, dress me in linen Tell where I've been and who I was The things that I loved, the wind and the sea Then lay me to rest under a willow tree I did my best, please believe That's just how it goes, that's everything Let there be silence, just for a moment Then let there be laughter and song Go on, go on, go on Go on, go on, I'm gone Then lay me to rest under a willow tree I did my best, please believe That's just how it goes, that's everything Let it be known, and let it be Then lay me to rest under a willow tree
