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
