My Life

My Life by Iris Dement. These are the lyrics to my favorite song. It was written and sung by Iris Dement. I told my family that I wanted it played at my funeral. Why wait until I am gone, to share how I feel about "My Life"? The title to the song. It pretty much sums it up!

MY LIFE

My life, it don't count for nothin'
When I look at this world, I feel so small
My life, it's only a season
A passing September that no one will recall

But I gave joy to my mother
I made my lover smile
And I can give comfort to my friends when they're hurting
I can make it seem better for awhile

My life, it's half the way travelled
And still I have not found my way out of this night
My life, it's tangled in wishes
And so many things that never turned out right

But I gave joy to my mother
I made my lover smile
And I can give comfort to my friends when they're hurting
I can make it seem better for awhile
