9 Best Rod Stewart Funeral Songs

May the good Lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
Surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others
As you'd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young

May good fortune be with you
May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven
With a prince or a vagabond
And may you never love in vain
And in my heart you will remain
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young

And when you finally fly away
I'll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell
But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you, win or lose
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
For, forever young
Forever young

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do

For the morning sun in all its glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort, too
You fill my life with laughter and somehow you make it better
Ease my troubles, that's what you do

There's a love that's divine
And it's yours and it's mine, like the sun
And at the end of the day, we should give thanks and pray
To the one, to the one

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do

There's a love that's divine
And it's yours and it's mine, like the sun
And at the end of the day, we should give thanks and pray
To the one, to the one

And have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
You fill my heart with gladness, take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
Take away all my sadness, fill my life with gladness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do

I can tell by your eyes
That you've probably been crying forever
And the stars in the sky
Don't mean nothing to you, they're a mirror

I don't want to talk about it
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?
Oh, my heart

If I stand all alone
Will the shadow hide the color of my heart?
Blue for the tears
Black for the night's fears

The stars in the sky
Don't mean nothing to you, they're a mirror
I don't want to talk about it
How you broke my heart

If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?
Oh, my heart

My heart

My heart

Wake up, Maggie, I think I got something to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart, and that's what really hurt

The morning sun, when it's in your face, really shows your age
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home, just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul, and that's a pain I can do without

All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a lover, and, mother, what a lover you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed, and in the morning kick me in the head
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore
You led me away from home, 'cause you didn't wanna be alone
You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if I tried

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helping hand
Oh, Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
You made a first-class fool out of me, but I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway

Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home, one of these days

Across the street the river runs
Down in the gutter life is slipping away
Let me still exist in another place
Running under cover of a helicopter blade

The flames are getting higher in effigy
Burning down the bridges of my memory
Love may still be alive somewhere, someday
Where they're downing only deer a hundred steel towns away

Oh, rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
With the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
No, never will I roam for I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing

I could hold on to time like the wind on the trees
Or try and embrace the moment and live my own dream
Catch the wind, see us spin, sail away, leave today
Way up high in the sky, hey, whoa

But the wind won't blow you away
You'll be staying to the rhythm of my heart, yeah, yeah
Rhythm of my heart, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Rhythm of my heart, let's go

Rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
With the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
Never will I roam for I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing

Rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
With the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
Never will I roam for I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing

Rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
With the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
Never will I roam for I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing

Rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
With the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
Never will I roam for I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing

I am sailing, I am sailing
Home again, 'cross the sea
I am sailing, stormy waters
To be near you, to be free

I am flying, I am flying
Like a bird, 'cross the sky
I am flying, passing high clouds
To be with you, to be free

Can you hear me, can you hear me
Through the dark night, far away
I am dying, forever crying
To be with you, who can say?

Can you hear me, can you hear me
Through the dark night, far away?
I am dying, forever crying
To be with you, who can say?

We are sailing, we are sailing
Home again, 'cross the sea
We are sailing stormy waters
To be near you, to be free

Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free

I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And he's taken just all that I had
But if you want I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again but I know

The first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest
'Cause when it comes to being lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worse

I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
And I'm sure gonna give you a try
And if you want, I'll try to love again
But baby, I'll try to love again, but I know

The first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest
'Cause when it comes to being lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worse

I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
But I'm sure gonna give you a try
'Cause if you want, I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know

The first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest
'Cause when it comes to being lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worse

The first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest
When it comes to being lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worse

I didn't know what day it was
When you walked into the room
I said hello unnoticed
You said goodbye too soon

Breezing through the clientele
Spinning yarns that were so lyrical
I really must confess right here
The attraction was purely physical

I took all those habits of yours
That in the beginning were hard to accept
Your fashion sense, Beardsly prints
I put down to experience

The big bosomed lady with a Dutch accent
Who tried to change my point of view
Her ad lib lines were well rehearsed
But my heart cried out for you

You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul

My love for you is immeasurable
My respect for you immense
You're ageless, timeless, lace and fineness
You're beauty and elegance

You're a rhapsody, a comedy
You're a symphony and a play
You're every love song ever written
But honey, what do you see in me?

You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul

You're an essay in glamour
Please pardon the grammar
But you're every schoolboy's dream
You're Celtic, United, but baby I've decided
You're the best team I've ever seen

And there have been many affairs
Many times I've thought to leave
But I bite my lip and turn around
'Cause you're the warmest thing I've ever found

You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul

You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul
