A SONG TO PLAY AT MY FUNERAL
JUST BREATHE by PEARL JAM
(Maxabella pointed out that "Just Breathe" might be a little awkward to be playing at a funeral, which made me laugh. Because I hadn't thought about the title. It's this that gets me
"Hold me till I die. Meet you on the other side")
I did a blog post about this song on ChickChat.
Anyway, I've used Kaiser paper as the background and I cut the butterflies from Kaiser paper too. My Dymo made the word strips and I kind of like that they're really unobtrusive because I DON'T WANNA DIE!
Here's the song
and here's the lyrics
Yes I understand that life every must end, aw huh,..
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, aw huh,..
I’m a lucky man to count on both hands
The ones I love,..
Some folks just have one,
Others they got none, aw huh,..
Stay with me,..
Let’s just breathe.
Practiced are my sins,
Never gonna let me win, aw huh,..
Under everything, just another human being, aw huh,..
Yeh, I don’t wanna hurt, there’s so much in this world
To make me bleed.
Stay with me,..
You’re all I see.
Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn’t now I’m a fool you see,..
No one knows this more than me.
As I come clean.
I wonder everyday
as I look upon your face, aw huh,..
Everything you gave
And nothing you would take, aw huh,..
Nothing you would take,..
Everything you gave.
Did I say that I need you?
Oh, Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn’t now I’m a fool you see,..
No one know this more than me.
As I come clean.
Nothing you would take,..
everything you gave.
Hold me till I die,..
Meet you on the other side.
I have always wanted (and I actually wrote a funeral plan when I was about 17, Bible readings and all) 'Smile'
ReplyDeleteSmile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking.
When there are clouds in the sky
you'll get by.
If you smile through your pain and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
For you.
Light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness.
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying.
You'll find that life is still worthwhile-
If you just smile.
