Write me a eulogy when I am no more.
Write me a eulogy when I am no more,
Read it aloud to yourself, my l'amour.
Write me a eulogy when I am no more,
Tear it up and scatter it with the winds,
Let me be unknown, let me be evermore.
Write me a eulogy when I am no more,
Tell them who I am, and the sparkle in my eyes,
That of me which may ever die. Burn the paper,
Wear the ashes, let me never be known.
Write me a eulogy when I am no more,
Believe that I may be in a better place,
Forget your pain in joys that we have known.
Rest a while, reread and rewrite,
Till I fade away like a falling star, that once shone.
Write me a eulogy when I am no more,
Find me in my drafts, bind them together,
Let no one know who I was, or where I am;
Find a place with no breeze, Earth broken,
Lay them six feet under, with no epithet,
No stone, to be eaten away by time, alone.
Write me a eulogy when I am no more.
Close your eyes, and in the darkness see me,
Don't forget, for we are nothing but memories
when long gone; scattered bits of paper,
Fading ink- into a million pieces, torn.
Write me a eulogy when I am no more,
Hear me breathe in the evening breeze,
Tall coconut trees, and rowdy parakeets,
The smell of home, camphor and beach.
Write me a eulogy when I am no more,
Let me go, set me free, but hold on to our memories,
Find me in the evening dew, find me in evermore.
Write me a eulogy when I am no more,
Read it aloud to yourself, my l'amour.
Write me a eulogy when I am no more.
Write me a eulogy when I am no more,
Read it aloud to yourself, my l'amour.
Write me a eulogy when I am no more,
Tear it up and scatter it with the winds,
Let me be unknown, let me be evermore.
Write me a eulogy when I am no more,
Tell them who I am, and the sparkle in my eyes,
That of me which may ever die. Burn the paper,
Wear the ashes, let me never be known.
