Forever Young/Rod Stewart

May the good Lord be with you
down every road you roam

and may sunshine and happiness aurround you

when you're far from home!.
And may you grow to be proud
dignified and true

and do onto others as you'd have done to you!.
Be courageous and be brave

and in my heart you'll always stay forever young
forever young!.

May good fortune be with you
may your guiding light be strong!.
build a stairway to heaven with a prince or a vagabond!.
And may you never love in vain
and in my heart you will remain
forever young
forever young
forever young
forever young

forever young
forever young!.

And when you finally fly away

I'll be hoping that I've served you well

for all the wisdom of a lifetime no one can ever tell!.
But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you
win or lose

forever young
forever young
forever young
forever young

forever young
forever young
for-forever young
forever young !Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think that, whoever comes to my funeral, unless they're there to celebrate (which I can't imagine - I just don't think anyone I know is that vindictive), people are going to be sad!. And I don't want a funeral where the music makes people feel even worse!. So I'd pick something which is really something I'd listen to, but also pretty much everyone likes!. It'd probably end up being something off of Rubber Soul/Revolver (I think I'm looking through you, but we'll see!.!.!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

As of right now (I'm only 15 at the moment), I have "Adagio in g minor" by Albinoni in mind!. When I listen to it, its just so amazing and saddening!.!.!.!. and when I die (hopefully quite some time from now), I would like the quartet I had been in to play that song!. If I could get my true friends to play that, they would play their soul out into this already emotional piece, and the end outcome would be an utterly amazing (and depressing) work of art!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

First of all I don't want a funeral--A memorial will suffice
The music will likely be classic rock!.

I'll leave each person there with a card containing these final few words



Miss Me -- But Let Me Go


When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room!.
Why cry for a soul set free!?

Miss me a little--but not too long
And not with your head bowed low!.
Remember the love that we once shared,
Miss me--but let me go!.

For this is a journey that we all must take
And each must go alone!.
It's all a part of the Master's plan,
A step on the road to home!.

When you are lonely and sick of heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds!.
Miss Me--But Let me Go!

In all honesty I don't want a funeral!. My family already knows that I want to be cremated; I don't my children and family -last memory to be of me lying in a casket!. With that being said;; I don't care to have flowers; no one bought them for me when I was living; I don't want my home going celebration to be in a church; I rather have my folks rent a hall of some sort; serve my favorite foods; play my favorite old school & R&B songs; and to release butterflies in my memory!.!.!.
AMEN!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I always thought it would be nice to have them play "The Dance" by Garth Brooks at my funeral!. It kind of sums up how I feel!. And I wouldn't want a huge funeral or a fancy coffin!.
