9 Best George Michael Funeral Songs

I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I can't find, oh, the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way feel
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have, oh, they need love to help them heal

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
'Cause losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see, yeah
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, babe
'Cause losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see, yeah
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, babe
'Cause losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Don't let the sun go down on me, baby
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I that see, yeah
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, babe
'Cause losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Well, I guess it would be nice
If I could touch your body
I know not everybody
Has got a body like you
But I've got to think twice
Before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play
Because I play them too

Oh, but I need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
And when that love comes down
Without devotion
Well, it takes a strong man, baby
But I'm showing you the door

'Cause I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith
'Cause I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith

Baby, I know you're asking me to stay
Say please, please, please don't go away
You say I'm giving you the blues
Maybe
You mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to lover boy rules

Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you pick my heart up off the floor
When our love comes down
Without devotion
Well, it takes a strong man, baby
But I'm showing you the door

'Cause I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith
'Cause I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith

Well, I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith
'Cause I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith

Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you pick my heart up off the floor
When our love comes down
Without devotion
Well, it takes a strong man, baby
But I'm showing you the door

'Cause I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith
'Cause I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith

I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith

That's all I wanted
Something special, something sacred
In your eyes
For just one moment
To be bold and naked
At your side
Sometimes I think that you'll never
Understand me
Maybe this time is forever
Say it can be, whoa

That's all you wanted
Something special, someone sacred
In your life
Just for one moment
To be warm and naked
At my side
Sometimes I think that you'll never
Understand me
But something tells me together
We'd be happy, oh

(Baby)
I will be your father figure
(Put your tiny hand in mine)
I will be your preacher teacher
(Be your daddy)
Anything you have in mind
(It would make me)
I will be your father figure
(Very proud)
I have had enough of crime
(Please let me)
I will be the one who loves you
Until the end of time

That's all I wanted
But sometimes love can be mistaken
For a crime
That's all I wanted
Just to see my baby's
Blue-eyed shine
This time I think that my lover
Understands me
If we have faith in each other
Then we can be strong, baby

I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
I will be the one who loves you
Until the end of time

If you are the desert
I'll be the sea
If you ever hunger
Hunger for me
Whatever you ask for
That's what I'll be

So when you remember the ones who have died
Remember that I'm the one who loves you
Until the end of time

I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
So I am gonna love you
Until the end of time

I will be your father
I will be your preacher
I'll be your daddy
I will be the one who loves you
'Til the end of time

Let me tell you a secret
Put it in your heart and keep it
Something that I want you to know
Do something for me
Listen to my simple story
And maybe we'll have something to show

You tell me you're cold on the inside
How can the outside world
Be a place that your heart can embrace
Be good to yourself
'Cause nobody else
Has the power to make you happy

Heal the pain that you're inside
Fix the things in your life
And you'll find the strength
That will guide your way
And you'll learn to begin
To trust the man within

Ah, we're creatures of habit
We can't see beyond the end of our noses
When everything fades, feeling hazy
We're brimming with tears
But the tears never come
We're frightened to be left all alone
But we're much better off
Than the ghosts of our souls
That's why I'm still here
To tell you, I love you

And when the clouds get too close
And the wind begins to blow
I want to be a fool for you
'Cause I'm a fool anyway

Heal the pain that you're inside
Fix the things in your life
And you'll find the strength
That will guide your way
And you'll learn to begin
To trust the man within

Heal the pain that you're inside
Fix the things in your life
And you'll find the strength
That will guide your way
And you'll learn to begin
To trust the man within

Heal the pain that you're inside
Fix the things in your life
And you'll find the strength
That will guide your way
And you'll learn to begin
To trust the man within

Kindness in your eyes, I guess you heard me cry
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
I'm blessed, I know
Heaven sent, and heaven stole
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
And what have I learned from all this pain?
I thought I'd never feel the same about anyone
Or anything again

But now I know
When you find love, when you know that it exists
Then the lover that you miss will come to you on those cold, cold nights
When you've been loved, when you know it holds such bliss
Then the lover that you kissed will comfort you when there's no hope in sight

Sadness in my eyes
No one guessed, well, no one tried
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
Loveless and cold
With your last breath, you saved my soul
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
And what have I learned from all these tears?
I've waited for you all those years
Then just when it began, he took your love away
But I still say

When you find love, when you know that it exists
Then the lover that you miss will come to you on those cold, cold nights
When you've been loved, when you know it holds such bliss
Then the lover that you kissed will comfort you when there's no hope in sight

So the words you could not say
I'll sing them for you
And the love we would have made
I'll make it for two
For every single memory has become a part of me
You will always be my love

Well, I've been loved, so I know just what love is
And the lover that I kissed is always by my side
Oh, the lover, I still miss
Was Jesus to a child

You are far
When I could have been your star
You listened to people
Who scared you to death and from my heart
Strange that you were strong enough
To even make a start
But you'll never find
Peace of mind
Till you listen to your heart
People
You can never change the way they feel
Better let them do just what they will
For they will, if you let them
Steal your heart from you
People
Will always make a lover feel a fool
But you knew I loved you
We could have shown them all
We should have seen love through
Fooled me with the tears in your eyes
Covered me with kisses and lies
So goodbye
But please don't take my heart
You are far
I'm never gonna be your star
I'll pick up the pieces
And mend my heart
Maybe I'll be strong enough
I don't know where to start
But I'll never find
Peace of mind
While I listen to my heart
People
You can never change the way they feel
Better let them do just what they will
For they will, if you let them
Steal your heart
And people
Will always make a lover feel a fool
But you knew I loved you
We could have shown them all
But remember this
Every other kiss
That you'll ever give
Long as we both live
When you need the hand of another man
One you really can surrender with
I will wait for you
Like I always do
There's something there
That can't compare with any other
You are far
When I could have been your star
You listened to people
Who scared you to death and from my heart
Strange that I was wrong enough
To think you'd love me too
Guess you were kissing a fool
You must have been kissing a fool
I said, you must have been kissing a fool

I've had enough of danger
And people on the streets
I'm looking out for angels
Just trying to find some peace
Now I think it's time
That you let me know
So if you love me
Say you love me
But if you don't
Just let me go
'Cause teacher
There are things
That I don't want to learn
And the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
When you were just a stranger
And I was at your feet
I didn't feel the danger
Now I feel the heat
That look in your eyes
Telling me no
So you think that you love me
Know that you need me
I wrote the song, I know it's wrong
Just let me go
And teacher
There are things
That I don't want to learn
Oh, the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
So when you say that you need me
That you'll never leave me
I know you're wrong, you're not that strong
Let me go
And teacher
There are things
That I still have to learn
But the one thing I have is my pride
Oh, so I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because there ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Who just isn't willing to try
I'm so cold inside
Maybe just one more try

These are the days of the open hand
They will not be the last
Look around now
These are the early days
Don't look back, you just have to go on
Don't look back, you just have to go on
But I can't be your friend anymore
I'm dreaming of a time when the English are sick to death of Labour
And Tories
And spit upon the name Oliver Cromwell
And denounce this royal line
That still salute him
And will salute him forever
