[Verse 1]
If I die, put me in a song
Tell everyone how in love I've been
If I die, put me in a song
So I'll live on in your melody
If the day comes where I am gone
Let me go and be happy
And if you're sad then make up a tune
That I can listen on, you'll carry
[Chorus]
If I die, don't put me in stars
I'm never that far away from you
Put me in words, not hallelujahs
They come from the heart and they'll ring true
[Verse 2]
If I don't awake from my sleep
Know that I'm free in glory
And I'm okay with who I've been
So there's no need to be mourning
[Chorus]
If I die, don't put me in stars
I'm never that far away from you
Put me in words, not hallelujahs
They come from the heart and they'll ring true
[Bridge]
As a cold breath of air
As a feeling everywhere
As an angel, as a breeze
You will always have me
As a cold breath of air
As a feeling everywhere
As an angel, as a breeze
You will always have me
[Verse 3]
If I die, put me in a song
A beautiful one that plays on and on
If I die, tell everyone
That I'm not gone, just watching, just watching
[Chorus]
If I die, don't put me in stars
I'm never that far away from you
Put me in words, not hallelujahs
Words come from the heart and they'll stay true
[Outro]
If I die, put me in a song
Tell everyone how in love I've been
