  • 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
    Then let me go, be happy
    And if you're sad then make up a tune
    That I can sing to you and you'll carry

    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 ring true

    If I die before I wake
    Know that I'm free and glory
    And I'm okay with who I've been
    So there's no need to be mourning

    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 ring true

    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

    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

    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 ring true

    If I die, put me in a song
    Tell everyone how in love I've been Writer/s: Jade Elizabeth Bird
