John Kay Dance To My Song Lyrics

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
