John Kay - Dance To My Song lyrics

Words and music by John Kay And we carried him down the hollow Where we laid his kind soul down to rest Then we sang until the dawn just to him memory And found these words to be his last request… When my time draws nigh stay near me And when I die will you dance to my song When I'm gone won't you come and cheer me On my journey back home where I belong Now how could he know Just where he would go And what did he see that made him run so free And why do I feel, that's he's far away and right beside me still In the night somebody touched me And the sea rolled out his name While I thought of all our times together His echo keeps callin' back again… When my time draws nigh stay near me And when I die will you dance to my song When I'm gone won't you come and cheer me On my journey back home where I belong And we carried him down the hollow Where we laid his kind soul down to rest Then we sang until the dawn just to him memory And found these words to be his last request… When my time draws nigh stay near me And when I die will you dance to my song When I'm gone won't you come and cheer me On my journey back home where I belong Now how could he know Just where he would go And what did he see that made him run so free And why do I feel, that's he's far away and right beside me still In the night somebody touched me And the sea rolled out his name While I thought of all our times together His echo keeps callin' back again… When my time draws nigh stay near me And when I die will you dance to my song When I'm gone won't you come and cheer me On my journey back home where I belong © 1973 Black Leather Music, Inc.
