A Thousand Winds

hold your head up and don't you cry
 when i'm called home and must leave
 don't want a sad occasion
 i want a celebration
 with my friends and loved ones around me
 i want lots of stories i want lots of laughing
 happy music and toes tapping
 so don't you be down
 just look around i'll be near
 i'll be the sunshine in your morning
 that warms your pretty face
 that bluebird on your mailbox
 and the soft autumn rain
 i'll be those children in the winter
 making angels in the snow
 i will be
 a thousand winds that blow
 i feel you breathing next to me
 in the stillness of the night
 i think how you've loved me
 so long unconditionally
 and what a lucky man am i
 and when my time's up and i'm called to glory
 i want to see you smiling as those trumpets sound before me
 so don't be sad
 just look back and i'll be there
 i'll be that rainbow on the water
 you always loved to see
 that hawk high on the branches
 of an old oak tree
 i'll be that little boy with his mama
 who's scared and won't let go
 i will be
 a thousand winds that blow
 and i'll be that kiss upon your forehead
 when it comes your time to go
 i will be a thousand winds that blow
 i will be a thousand winds that blow
