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
