Not over my dead body

If you think I'm nice say it now,
Say it to my face, say it in front of me,
I won't be able to hear once I'm gone,
If not now don't say it then, no, not over my dead body.

If you want to meet me come here now,
Come and we will laugh together,
I won't be able to give you company once I'm gone,
Don't come to weep then, no, not over my dead body.

If you like me and want to send flowers,
Send them now with greetings attached,
I won't be able to see the heaps on the grave,
Don't waste the flowers, no, not over my dead body.

If you want to have a nice meal together,
Come now and bring our friends along,
I won't be able to eat with you once I'm gone,
No sense having a feast, no, not over my dead body.

If you wish me well say a prayer for my well-being today,
I will say Ameen and pray for you too my friend,
No one has seen what comes after, pray for someone else once I'm gone,
Don't waste your prayer, no, not over my dead body.

Cherish the living, celebrate life,
Do what you want, say what you feel,
No use waiting till its finally too late,
Who knows what happens once a soul passes on.
