I want you to dance at my funeral
I want you to celebrate your life
yeah, I want you to dance at my funeral.

In this way, you remember me, remember me
And you keep my light alive


Don't you shed your tears for me, baby
Cause I'll be dancing with the angels in the sky
Yeah, my Jesus, He's gonna save me

my Jesus, he's gonna dry your eyes
yeah, He's gonna dry your eyes


So I want you to dance at my funeral
I want you to eat ice cream and read poetry all night
Go ahead, you can dance at my funeral

In this way, you'll remember me, remember me
And you keep my light alive.


Yeah, Death's nothing more than a doorway,
A doorway home to the light,
By His Grace we'll be there someday

Until then, keep your torch burning bright
Until then, keep your torch burning bright


Because the sky's gonna fall on us someday,
Wash our every memory away,
All our empty treachery will decay

And LOVE will remain

So I want you to dance at my funeral

Yeah, I want you to celebrate your life
Go ahead, you can dance at my funeral
In this way you'll remember me, remember me

In this way you remember me, remember me
And you'll keep my light
Alive
