Funerals are a part of life. They can be sad or they can celebrate a life lived. Songs in videos are now played at funerals and sometimes it can recreate that special feeling that the person mattered in our lives. Sometimes words cannot describe what a song can express.

Days

Lyrics:

Thank you for the days,

Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me.

I'm thinking of the days,

I won't forget a single day, believe me.

I bless the light,

I bless the light that lights on you believe me.

And though you're gone,

You're with me every single day, believe me.

Days I'll remember all my life,

Days when you can't see wrong from right.

You took my life,

But then I knew that very soon you'd leave me,

But it's all right,

Now I'm not frightened of this world, believe me.

I wish today could be tomorrow,

The night is dark,

It just brings sorrow, let it wait.

Thank you for the days,

Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me.

I'm thinking of the days,

I won't forget a single day, believe me.

Days I'll remember all my life,

Days when you can't see wrong from right.

You took my life,

But then I knew that very soon you'd leave me,

But it's all right,

Now I'm not frightened of this world, believe me.

Days.

Thank you for the days,

Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me.

I'm thinking of the days,

I won't forget a single day, believe me.

I bless the light,

I bless the light that shines on you believe me.

And though you're gone,

You're with me every single day, believe me.

Days.

Some Fantastic Place

(Difford/Tilbrook)

She gave to me her tenderness

Her friendship and her love

I see her face from time to time

There in the sky above

We grew up learning as we went

What a voyage our life could be

It took us through a wilderness

Into the calmest sea

Her smile could lift me from the pain

I often found within

She said some things I won't forget

She made a few bells ring

So simple her humility

Her beauty found in grace

Today she lives another life

In some fantastic place

She showed me how to raise a smile

Out of her bed of gloom

And in her garden sanctuary

A life began to bloom.

She visualised a world ahead

And planned how it would be

She left behind the strongest love

That lives eternally

I have the hope that when it's time

For me to come her way

That she'll be there to show me round

Whenever comes that day

Her love was life and happiness

And in her steps I trace

The way to live a better life

In some fantastic place

Lyrics

Scattered

Written by Ray Davies

(This song is dedicated to the memory of

Annie Florence Davies and Carol Bryans.)

Like a seed that is sewn

All the children are scattered

By a breeze that is blown

Now the crops are all scattered

We are torn, we are shattered

Now some of us are barmy and battered

And the fields where we gathered

Are overgrown in weeds and in tatters

Through it all we were scattered

To the fields we are scattered

From the day we are born

To grow wild and sleep rough

Till from the earth we are torn

And a soul that is free

Can live on eternally

And the spirit can live on

Though it's scattered in the world beyond

And I've been out of my mind

Ever since she's been gone

I look around that empty room

No sight nor sound

She's left so soon

She's out of view

But the I find

Those scattered clues she left behind

A photograph with a smiling face

A cigarette stubbed out on the fireplace

A coffee cup with her lipstick stains

I guess I'll never see her again

Now my life is all scattered

Ever since she's been gone

I feel older, I feel fatter

I feel the blues coming on

We get bruised

We get battered

But we'll pick up the pieces that scattered

And with emotional glue

We're gonna stick together, body and mind

Ever since she went away

I've been alone to contemplate

Time and space and why world's move

While sitting in my solitude

I've watched the stars and wondered why

They're scattered up there in the sky

And is she up there out of view

On some higher platitude

I wish I knew

Wish I could prove

The reason why this life on earth

Is scattered like the universe

I'm scattered here and scattered there

Bits of me scattered everywhere

To the fields we are scattered

Then from the dust we are born

We survive somewhat battered

To a new life, a new dawn

IN the end what will it matter

There'll only be my ashes to scatter

And all the logical answers

To a worrying mind

Will be scattered in time

Beaten and battered

To the earth you are scattered

You're going home so what does it matter

To an atomic mind

Scattered here while you travel time
