Last Respects

Lay a flower on my grave
paint the sundown with tearful eyes
don't forget to remember me
when it's been a year from now

Hold me in your memories
cherish all that i've given you
and if you could just find some time
don't forget to say a prayer for me

And everything is beautiful
when it's not here anymore
and everything is wonderful
could I ever ask for more

Why...can't we control our destiny
why...do we just fall into place
why...can't we escape reality
why...do we just fall into place

Take a little while to remember me
don't forget to pay your last respects
take a little while to look into yourself
maybe you will find a glimpse of me

Lay a flower on my grave
paint the sundown with tearful eyes
and in the shadow of the sun
take shade in all your memories

And everything seems beautiful
when it's not here anymore
and everything seems wonderful
could I ever ask for more

Why...can't we design our destiny
why...should we just crawl into place
why...can't we elude reality
why...should we just crawl into place

Take a little while to remember me
don't forget to pay your last respects
take a little while to look into yourself
maybe you will find a glimpse of me

Just take a little while to remember me
don't forget to pay your last respects
just take a little while to look into yourself
there will always be a glimpse of me
