In a cup, in a ride.
Hey guys, I stumbled upon an old song by Hanson today that gave me some comfort. I learned it on guitar and did a cover on YouTube. I'm super amateur, but I wanted to share anyway: [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htse_NWchtY"]http://www.youtube.com/user/amytothegrace

It just took me out of my sadness and reminded me that he isn't really gone. And that if he could speak to us all, I think (aside from saying he loves us more ;) ) that he would tell us to not weep for him...but be happy for the time he was here, for what he left us...and to just go on living our lives in joy and love, as he did. :)

Here are the lyrics:

If I'm gone when you wake up, please don't cry
And if I'm gone when you wake up, it's not goodbye
Don't look back at this time as a time of heartbreak and distress
Remember me, remember me
'Cause I'll be with you in your dreams
Oh I'll be with you

If I'm gone when you wake up, please don't cry
And if I'm gone when you wake up, don't ask why
Don't look back at this time as a time of heartbreak and distress
Remember me, remember me
'Cause I'll be with you in your dreams
Oh

Don't cry, I'm with you
Don't cry, I'm by your side
Don't cry, I'm with you
Don't cry, I'm by your side

And though my flesh is gone, oh
I'll still be with you at all times
And though my body's gone, oh
I'll be there to comfort you at all times
Oh oh

If I'm gone when you wake up, please don't cry
And if I'm gone when you wake up, don't ask why
Don't look back at this time as a time of heartbreak and distress
Remember me, remember me
'Cause I'll be with you in your dreams
Oh, I'll be with you

I don't want you to cry and weep, no
I want you to go on living your life
I'm not sleeping an endless sleep, oh
'Cause in your heart you'll all of the good times
Oh, oh

And if I'm gone when you wake up, please don't cry
And if I'm gone when you wake up, it's not goodbye
Don't look back at this time as a time of heartbreak and distress
Remember me, remember me
'Cause I'll be with you in your dreams

Nice choice!
I've loved this song since it was out...I want either this or YANA played at my funeral.... lol sorry, don't mean to be morbid. (If anyone's interested, they wrote it after their grandmother died)
But this song is so perfect. There's a gorgeous live version here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vvWOATSiBw#t=1m14s

Yeah I think you're right.....I hate the thought of things left in a mess... I feel I should make a list of information like that, but yeah, hopefully not to be used for a long time.
 
Thank you guys!

Both of those songs would be beautiful for a funeral! I've actually started thinking about this kind of stuff too. Like strawberrypie999 said, you never know when your time will come...it's good to be prepared.
Thanks for linking that live version! So beautiful. I heart Hanson.

i definetly heart hanson and have since i was a little girl! i remember kissing posters of taylor when i was in 2nd or 3rd grade! LOL
 
PS. I just watched the live video, and it made me cry =[ ugh I just love Hanson too much lol and this song relating to how we feel about Michael makes it even more emotional, and them even more amazing. lol
 
When I read the lyrics to this song, it reminded me of another Hanson song that I feel is very fitting!! Here are the lyrics

'I Will Come To You' - Hanson

When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you

When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh, come to you

Oh some times when all your dreams
May have seen better days
When you dont know how or why
But you've lost your way
Have no fear when your tears are falling
I will hear your spirit calling
And I swear that I'll be there
Come what may

When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you

Woah

I will come to you

Cause even if we can't be together
We'll be friends now and forever
And I swear that I'll be there
Come what may

When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Woah, I will come to you

Oh we all need somebody we can turn to
Someone who'll always understand
So if you fear that your sun is dying
And you need the strength to keep trying
I'll reach out and take your hand

I'll reach out for your hand

You can hear it and see the music video here
