Gill Landry - Funeral in My Heart lyrics

There's a funeral in my heart And everyone is dressed in black With Chrysanthemums and voodoo dolls Trying to bring you back As the lonesome hearse rolls slowly To the graveyard of my mind Other than that I'm feeling fine Yonder stands old romance tombside Talking to himself With a family of memories That are holding to your wealth Regretters by your coffin Can't do anything but cry And mumble 'bout the by and by Oh the bloodless face of used to be Is looking cold and grim As the pallbearers and my true love Sing a solemn hymn There's a funeral in my heart But the respects I wish to pay Cannot be heard beyond The cold ground of your grave So I throw the dirt over Once I cover you in life Why do all the good things have to die
