Lyrics
All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain . . . we can be like they are
Come on baby . . . don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand . . . don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly . . . don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man . . .
Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity . . . Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday . . . Like Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday . . . Redefine happiness
Another 40,000 coming everyday . . . We can be like they are
Come on baby . . . don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand . . . don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly . . . don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man . . .
Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared . . . saying don't be afraid
Come on baby . . . and she had no fear
And she ran to him . . . then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodbye . . . she had become like they are
She had taken his hand . . . she had become like they are
Come on baby . . . don't fear the reaper
Loved this - Funerals could be so much more meaningful if people just tried to make them more personal and didn't just adopt "what has always been done".
I believe it's necessary to honor a person according to his/her personality... and if it's a humorous funeral song that fits him the best, then no one will feel uncomfortable as they listen to it, since it's just the type of music that the person who died would have wanted. No one would have expected less of him/her.
