Ari Scott Here Lies A Woman Lyrics

Here Lies A Woman Lyrics

she was born on the 20th of june
1974, an hour past noon or so
she lived a
good life, she was a wife
and a mother (a damn good one too)
so we're
gathered here today to pay
(in a way) our respects to a woman about whom
i'll say:

here lies a woman who knew right from wrong
here lies a
woman who knew all along she would
be somebody in this life. that, she
knew
i'll say: here lies a woman loved by all of you

she was brought
up the oldest of four
they treated her well but still she always wanted
more
daughter of a teacher who later wrote a book or two
and a well-known
book editor with eyes of steel blue
she moved to the city (it was always her
wish)
and it was there she met the man she spent her life with

here
lies a woman who knew right from wrong
here lies a woman who knew all along
she would
have a positive effect on those who surrounded her
here lies a
woman loved by those around her

well, don't ask why
there's a time
and a reason for every life
she hopes not all of you decided to dress
in
black 'cause that would just make her depressed

she accomplished a lot
while she lived
always wanting to conquer her fears, always wanting to
give
what she could, when she could, she was considered good
i think we
should live our lives like she would

here lies a woman who knew right
from wrong
here lies a woman who knew all long she would
leave her mark
on this world. that, she believed, i'll say!
here lies a woman who asks you
not to grieve
