Throw Me a Party

I lived my life as kind as I could
 I did my best, I hope I was good
 I'll always wish I'd crossed a few more lines
 But I always lived like there wasn't enough time
 I'll leave footprints for you in the sand
 A couple of notes only you'll understand
 I have one wish that someday you'll see
 How much your love, your love has meant to me
 So when I'm gone, throw me a party
 You should dance as if I was there
 Don't be sad or be broken hearted
 Send your voices up in the air
 Sing my songs and light up the sparklers
 Tell my stories and drink all my wine
 And know my life is just getting started
 When I'm gone
 Throw me a party
 Come on and throw me a party
 Step outside with my ashes
 And wait for a beautiful wind
 Underneath that fire yellow aspen
 And toss me to her leaves and let the healing begin
 So when I'm gone, throw me a party
 You should dance as if I was there
 Don't be sad or be broken hearted
 Send your voices up in the air
 Sing my songs and light up the sparklers
 Tell my stories and drink all my wine
 And know my life is just getting started
 When I'm gone
 Throw me a party
 The hardest part is
 Knowing that you'll miss me
 (Knowing that you'll miss me)
 Won't you promise
 That when I'm gone, you'll throw me a party
 You should dance as if I was there
 Don't be sad or be broken hearted
 Send your voices up in the air
 Sing my songs and light up the sparklers
 Tell my stories and drink all my wine
 And know my life is just getting started
 When I'm gone
 Throw me a party
 Come on and throw me a party
 Oh, throw me a party
 Don't be sad or be broken hearted
 Send your voices up in the air
