Do Not Mourn For Me

Do not mourn for me Raise the flags full mast With some knickers tied below And would that someone laughed A seed of hope I'd sow A seed of hope which grows within one day bears fruit enough to fill A broken heart that's suffering And drive away the chill Do not mourn for me Fill your glass to the brim Think upon your favourite day And should the memory start to dim Remember love will always stay Remember love never ends No matter how far it seems So as your soul slowly mends I'll visit in your dreams Do not mourn for me Think of all the silly things The songs, the jokes, the pranks we played Your smile once more I hope it brings I wish I could have stayed I wish I could be with you now And let you know that all is well Remember that somewhere, somehow I'm laughing still

Good one Nick. I always tell people that for my funeral I want people to tell the funny dumb stuff that they saw me do. I assume I will end up with the longest funeral on record.
