Sing No Sad Songs

Sing no sad songs when I pass As sunlight filters through stained glass Though you look upon me as I lay In front of you all on this mournful day Think of times recent and of times past Think only of me when you saw me last Full of life and fun and love Before my journey up above Think of all the times we had Some were joyous, many sad The beautiful places that we went The camping trip to picturesque Kent The occasional times when we fell out When your mind was filled with doubt But our differences we resolved When people ceased to get involved I want to see you all in colours bright That will fill me with delight I really hope you won't spend hours Trying to find the perfect flowers Donate to charity, learn the art of giving In my opinion, flowers are for the living Make sure they play my favourite song I'd like everyone to sing along You'll all be upset beyond belief Know now I’ll understand your grief I'll see the tears on your face But be assured I’m in a better place I'm now at peace and out of pain Looking forward to when we meet again I've gone on ahead, I’ll stand and wait For you to meet me at the gate I'll smile at you and you'll smile back I hope you won't be wearing black Then I’ll take your hand in mine And we'll be together for all time
