I'm still young, but I know my days are numbered

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and so on

 But a time will come when these numbers have all ended

 And all I've ever seen will be forgotten

 Won't you come

To my funeral when my days are done

 Life's not long

 And so I hope when I am finally dead and gone that you'll gather round

 As I am lowered into the ground

When my coffin is sealed and I'm safely six feet under

Perhaps my friends will see fit then to judge me

When they pause to consider all my blunders

I hope they won't be too quick to begrudge me

Won't you come

To my funeral when my days are done

Life's not long

And so I hope when I am finally dead and gone that you'll gather round

As I am lowered into the ground

If I should die before I wake up

I pray that the lord my soul will take but

 My body, my body, that's your job

I can't be sure where I'm headed after death

To heaven to hell or beyond to the great vast

But if I can I would like to meet my maker

There's one or two things I'd sure like to ask

Won't you come

To my funeral when my days are done

Life's not long

And so I hope when I am finally dead and gone that you'll gather round

As I am lowered into the ground
