Live Life Well And Long by Charles Wile

And finally when on your own
Don't think that you are all alone
But sing out loud so I can hear
For I lived well
And I lived long
And none shall soon forget my song
And all I wish
From high above
Is you live well and long, my love
Don't reminisce and then feel sad
But raise your glass up high and toast
The joys of life you love the most
When all are shaking hands by my grave
Don't ask the children to behave
Let them run free and shout out loud
The living joy of which I'm proud
When I am lying six feet deep
Don't sadly hang your head and weep
But let my final epitaph
Be tales of life that make you laugh
When you are talking at my wake
Don't chat politely serving cake
Instead buy champagne by the crate
Link arms with friends, dance, celebrate
When people stop and say 'too bad'.
