Fancy Funeral

Some think a fancy funeral will be worth every cent But every dime or nickel is money better spent Better spent on groceries or covering the bills Instead of little luxuries and unnecessary frills Lovely yellow daffodils and lacy pillow fringe Pretty little angels for everyone to see Lily of the valley and long black limousines It's three or four months' salaries just to pay for all those things So don't but a fancy funeral, it's not worth it in the end Goodbyes can still be beautiful without the money that you spend There's no amount of riches that will bring back what you've lost To satisfy your wishes, no way to justify the cost --- Fancy Funeral - Lucinda Williams
