Cherry Bury Boom

When I die please bury me

Underneath a cherry tree

And I shall blossom with each  spring

And scatter my loveliness, free.

When I die, weep not for me

For at last I'm free

To cross  the sky, with wings stretched wide 

And span the vast blue seas.

And when it's time to say good bye,
Please know I loved you so,

And keep me in your heart, all warm, 

Where my spirit shall live and grow.

 

And in the springtime, every year,
When white gives way to green
You'll sit beneath my lovely tree
As I shower you with pink.

Then close your eyes and run your hands

All through the petal covered deep,

And in that soft, pink fragerant bed

You'll lay your head to sleep.

And in your dreams you'll hear my laughter

And you shall remember, then,

This sad, dear, joyful girl.

I loved you so, please don't forget

Despite the ice and rain,

For after winters cold, and gray

Each spring I'll bloom again.
