My Epitaph Songtext
von Uncle Earl

When I go from this life
Let me go in peace
I don′t want your marble at my head and feet
Don't gather ′round me just to weep and moan
Where that I'm going I won't be alone


The flowers you give, please give them today
Don′t waste their beauty on cold, lifeless clay
One rose with love could do so much good
And I think all would give it if they just understood

Now God gives life freely then He takes away
What we do for each other let us do it today
For we have no promise that tomorrow will come
Don′t sing my praises, Lord, after I'm gone

When life has departed it′s not me anymore
Just a form that has suffered, still a heart that was sore
For the soul that has blossomed we don't need you anymore
So let it go freely to God′s evermore
