Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn’s rain
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die
If I had my life to do over,
I’d choose you to be my Father once more
Even if it meant losing you again
It would be worth all the tears in the world
You were my sunshine when skies were grey
I loved and adored you
you took all my tears away
I was so happy to just be with you
So proud to be your little girl
To me you meant the world
Your love was always pure
Your devotion complete
Your time seemed all too short
And I now feel so alone
My heart is completely crushed
But nothing loved is ever lost
And you are loved so much
