My Epitaph Lyrics

If I make it to a hundred or if I die today

Bury me beside the hill where my granddaddy lay

And don't spend a bit of money on some oversized stone

On my epitaph, not much needs to be known

I don't need this world to sing my praises

Or to chisel out some long poetic phrases

Should some stranger pass me by

To lay some flowers down on someone else's tomb

All they need to know about me is that I loved you

So just make sure they spell your name right

That's all that matters anyway

'Cause, darling, you have been my life

And I'll take that to my grave

I don't need this world to sing my praises

Or to chisel out some long poetic phrases

Should some stranger pass me by

To lay some flowers down on someone else's tomb

All they need to know about me is that I loved you

So when you write about me when I'm gone

Make it one little sentence long

I don't need this world to sing my praises

Or to chisel out some long poetic phrases

Should some stranger pass me by

To lay some flowers down on someone else's tomb

All they need to know about me is that I loved you

All they need to know about me is that I loved you

I loved you
