about

Based on the poem, Do not stand at my grave and weep, this was written to be played at my Fathers funeral

lyrics

I am the sunlight
On ripened grain
I am
The gentle autumn rain
I'm a thousand wind's that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow
I'm the river as it bends
The gold at rainbows end

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there I do not sleep
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there
I didn't die, we'll never be apart
I didn't die as long as I'm in your heart

When you awaken
In the mornings hush
I am
The swift uplifting rush
Of wild birds in startled flight
I'm the soft star's that shine at night
I'm the ocean's crashing waves
A thousand sunny days

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there I do not sleep
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there
I didn't die, we'll never be apart
I didn't die as long as I'm in your heart
I didn't die, we'll always be a team
I didn't die as long as I'm in your dreams

I'm a waterfall, I'm a candlelight
I'm a wedding ring, I'm neon bright
I'm a Harvest Moon, I'm getting wet
I'm ocean spray, I'm a red sunset
I'm a favourite song, I'm starry nights
I'm a shooting star, I'm a sudden fright
I'm a fairground ride, I'm skies of blue
I'm a spinning top, I'm a mountain view
I am....

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there I do not sleep
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there....
