At My Funeral

Hey, i was looking up the mmm mmm mmm mmm lyrics, when i found another song by them (the crash test dummies) called 'at my funeral'.

i think its really beautiful, and it suits what i think about my funeral, so im gonna put it here.

i'm still you, but i know my days are numbered
1234567 and so on
but a time will come when these numbers have all ended
and all i've ever seen will be forgotten.

won't you come
to my funeral when my days are done
life's not long
and i hope when i am finally dead and gone
that you'll gather round when i am lowered into the ground

when my coffin is sealed and i'm safely 6 feet under
perhaps my friends will see fit then to judge me
oh when they pause to consider all my blunders
i hope they won't be to quick to begrudge me

if i should die before i wake up
i pray that the Lord my soul will take but
my body, my body - thats your job

i can't be sure where i'm headed after death
to heaven, hell, or that that great vast
but if i can i would like to meet my maker
there's one or two things i'd sure like to ask

wont you come
to my funeral when my days are done
lifes not long
and so i hope when i am finally dead and gone
that you'll gather round when i am lowered into the ground.
