8 Best Alfie Boe Funeral Songs

God, on high, hear my prayer
In my need, you have always been there
He is young, he's afraid
Let him rest, heaven-blessed
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home

He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son
The summers die, one by one
How soon they fly on and on
And I am old, and will be gone

Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young
He is only a boy
You can take
You can give
Let him be
Let him live
If I die, let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home

May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young

Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young

Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
May you stay forever young

Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young

If you go away on this summer day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the nightbird's song
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

But if you stay, I'll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees that worship the wind
And if you go, I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

If you go away, as I know you must
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust
Just an empty room, full of empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
I'd have been the shadow of your dog
If I thought you might have kept me by your side
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

If you go away, please don't go away

Only love can make it rain
The way the beach is kissed by the sea
Only love can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers laying in the fields

Love, reign o'er me
Love, reign o'er me
Rain on me, rain on me

Only love can bring the rain
That makes you yearn to the sky
Only love can bring the rain
That falls like tears from on high

Love, reign o'er me
Love, reign o'er me
Rain on me, rain on me

On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spend apart alone
I need to get back home to cool, cool rain

I can't sleep and I lay and I think
The night is hot and black as ink
Oh, God, I need a drink of cool, cool rain

Love, reign o'er me
Love, reign o'er me
Rain on me, rain on me
Rain on me, rain on me

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless skies, my love
To the dark and the endless skies

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command

And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last 'til the end of time, my love
And it would last 'til the end of time

The first time ever I saw your face
Your face, your face
The first time ever I saw your face

We jump through hoops and we dance on wires,
Walk on broken glass and play with fire,
Though we're blind folded when we turn on the lights
I know that everything will be all right.

If you trust in true love and trust in time
Trusting forever, trust this heart of mine
We can lose ourselves, just like lovers do
If you trust in me, like I trust in you
Trust in me, like I trust in you

Too many people have been let down
By broken promises on broken ground
And there's cracks in the pavement
I don't want to fall through
Hold on to me and I'll hold onto you

If you trust in true love and trust in time
Trusting forever, trust this heart of mine
We can lose ourselves, just like lovers do
If you trust in me, like I trust in you
Trust in me, like I trust in you

Out there I sing this with trusting eyes
Trying to cut away the good in our lives
But I don't care what they believe
With you I have everything that I need

If you trust in true love and trust in time
Trusting forever, trust this heart of mine
We can lose ourselves, just like lovers do
If you trust in me, like I trust in you
Trust in me, like I trust in you

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
