Singing Lullabies

The morning that I died it was beautiful outside
It was snowing, the fields were glowing
And the birds were singing sweet melancholy melodies
I had no fear then, yeah I could hear them

And I had nothing left to say

On my funeral day
They laid roses on my grave and said a prayer
And left them there
You were next to leave, children tugging at your sleeve
You take them home where they belong

You had nothing left to say

And the children came and laid me on my bed
And the paper said the people cried
And the pastor read words that Jesus said
But nobody knows that I was singing when I died
And I was peaceful, yeah, I said all my goodbyes
And I was happy, I was singing lullabies

Oh, it's beautiful here
Oh, I have to say I miss you, dear
Oh, baby tell me you still hear
Oh, those birds singing clear

The morning that I died it was beautiful outside
It was snowing, the fields were glowing
And the birds were singing sweet melancholy melodies
I had no fear then, yeah I could hear them

And I had nothing left to say

And the children came and laid me on my bed
And the paper said the people cried
And the pastor read words that Jesus said
But nobody knows that I was singing when I died
And I was peaceful, yeah, I said all my goodbyes
And I was happy, I was singing lullabies
