I Am A Song

written & performed by Hook

When it's my time
I hope you'll be by my side
Holding my hand
Singing a song
Playing ukulele

When it's my time
I hope you'll be smiling
Right there beside me
I'll be Smiling
Singing along

Please send me on my way
With music in the air
The voices of my children
And maybe even theirs

Even if I can't play it
Put something in my hands
Something with strings
Something I'll understand

When it's my time
I pray you'll be inspired
Remember me
Not for all my flaws
.But for what you know I was
I was just a song

Please send me on my way
To the sound of a choir
Not a hymn
But a catchy tune
Something that might
Make your toes tap
Your fingers snap

Even if I can't play it
Put something in my hands
Something musical
To remind me who I am
I am a song

Great concept and well executed.

Good Lord, man. Did you really record backing tracks this song in the waiting room of a hospital. That I must say is most unorthodox. That is just about the perfect example of seizing the moment when the mood strikes.
