Do Not Weep 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 diamonds that glint on the snow Do no stand at my grave and cry I am not there, I did not die Do not stand at my grave and cry I will be soaring with Rachell in the sky We did not die Stand at my grave and be happy for me And when you see the butterflies flying free Know that I am checking in on you I did not die
