I lived my life as kind as I could I did my best I hope I was good I'll always wish I'd crossed a few more lines But I always lived like there wasn't enough time
I'll leave footprints for you in the sand A couple of notes only you'll understand I have one wish that someday you'll see How much your love, your love has meant to me
So when I'm gone throw me a party You should dance as if I was there Don't be sad or be broken hearted Send your voices up in the air
Sing my songs and light up the sparklers Tell my stories and drink all my wine And know my life is just getting started When I'm gone Throw me a party
Step outside with my ashes Wait for a beautiful wind Underneath that fire yellow aspen Toss me to her leaves and let the healing begin
So when I'm gone throw me a party You should dance as if I was there Don't be sad or be broken hearted Send your voices up in the air
Sing my songs and light up the sparklers Tell my stories and drink all my wine And know my life is just getting started When I'm gone Throw me a party
The hardest part is Knowing that you'll miss me Won't you promise
That when I'm gone you'll throw me a party You should dance as if I was there Don't be sad or be broken hearted Send your voices up in the air
Sing my songs and light up the sparklers Tell my stories and drink all my wine And know my life is just getting started When I'm gone Throw me a party Don't be sad or be broken hearted Send your voices up in the air
