the central part of my jazz march to the cemetery and back which I'd like to be put on at my own memorial meeting after I've passed away.
Lyrics
Friends have come from far and near
Travelled long and gathered here
For our friend who’s passed from sight
And just to wish one last “Good-night”
Precious thoughts and mem’ries shared
Of one who lived and loved and cared.
When we all reach that far other shore
We all shall gather round once more.
He’s reached that higher ground.
Let’s raise a joyful sound
And give our thanks for his life.
