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
