Dandelion Lyrics

[Spoken]
Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today to say goodbye
To that girl in the coffin over there

Make a wish, blow a kiss, baby leave me crying

[Hook]
Gather dirt and weeds for her (sad, sad)
Gather dirt and weeds for her (sad, sad)

What will they say about me when I die?
Assuming that they're still alive
'Such a diva,' they all agree
Will they feel the need to lie about me?

[Chorus]
Here lies a star, in death she is free and flying
Let us take a breath, makе a wish, blow a kiss (sad, sad)
Here lies a star as fiеrce as a the teeth of a lion
Dandeli-dandelion (sad, sad)
Dandelion

[Hook]
Gather dirt and weeds for her (sad, sad)
Gather dirt and weeds for her (sad, sad)

It comes for everyone, so why should I lose sleep about it?
Anyway, anyway
They got me all dressed up, nowhere to go
Put in this box, locked up safe for ages

And as they make a slow retreat
With the planting now complete
Knocking dirt off of their feet
Everybody's happy just to hear her

[Chorus]
Here lies a star, in death she is free and flying
Let us take a breath, make a wish, blow a kiss (sad, sad)
Here lies a star as fierce as a the teeth of a lion
Dandeli-dandelion (sad, sad)
Dandelion

[Hook]
Gather dirt and weeds for her
Gather dirt and weeds for her

[Chorus]
Here lies a star, in death she is free and flying
Let us take a breath, make a wish, blow a kiss (sad, sad)
Here lies a star as fierce as a the teeth of a lion
Dandeli-dandelion (sad, sad)
Dandelion

[Outro]
Gather dirt and weeds for her
