A Thousand Winds

Lyricist: Mary Elizabeth Frye     Composer: Olivier Cong

Please do not stand at my grave and weep
Oh do not stand at my grave and cry
Please do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there
I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grains (That warms your heart)
I am the gentle autumn rain (That melts with tears)
So do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there
I do not sleep
When you awaken from the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Please do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there
I did not die
