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 wished I'd crossed a few more lines

But I always lived like there wasn't enough time

I'll leave my 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 brokenhearted

Just 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

Now wait for a beautiful wind

Underneath that fire-yellow aspen

And toss me to the 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 brokenhearted

Just 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

Knowin' that you'll miss me (Knowin' 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 brokenhearted

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 brokenhearted

Send your voices up in the air
