Throw Me a Party - Rita Wilson

I lived my life as kind as I could

I did my best I hope I was good

I’ll always wish I’d crossed a few more lines

But I always lived like there wasn’t enough time

I’ll leave footprints for you in the sand

A couple of notes only you’ll understand

I have one wish that someday you’ll see

How much your love, your love has meant to me

So when I’m gone throw me a party

You should dance as if I was there

Don’t be sad or be broken hearted

Send your voices up in the air

Sing my songs and light up the sparklers

Tell my stories and drink all my wine

And know my life is just getting started

When I’m gone

Throw me a party

Step outside with my ashes

Wait for a beautiful wind

Underneath that fire yellow aspen

Toss me to her leaves and let the healing begin

So when I’m gone throw me a party

You should dance as if I was there

Don’t be sad or be broken hearted

Send your voices up in the air

Sing my songs and light up the sparklers

Tell my stories and drink all my wine

And know my life is just getting started

When I’m gone

Throw me a party

Bridge

The hardest part is

Knowing that you’ll miss me

Won’t you promise

That when I’m gone you’ll throw me a party

You should dance as if I was there

Don’t be sad or be broken hearted

Send your voices up in the air

Sing my songs and light up the sparklers

Tell my stories and drink all my wine

And know my life is just getting started

When I’m gone

Throw me a party

Don’t be sad or be broken hearted

Send your voices up in the air
