I Won't Wear Black for You, No.

I won't wear black for you, no.

 You were just at that baby shower,
 we laughed together, remember?

I won't wear black for you, no,
not at your funeral tomorrow.

I won't wear black for you, no,
we were just a wedding,
I met your oldest daughter's boyfriend,
he's a gem.
You loved him, too,
remember?

I won't wear black for you, no,
we just quietly gloriously just admired
your other daughter,
We talked about her her courage and spirit,
remember?

I won't wear black for you, no,
I can't grieve for you, not yet.

You were just here,
so strong, so bright, so loyal,
never wearing black,
never complaining.

I won't wear black at your funeral tomorrow,
I can't imagine something so dark
when we all come together
to celebrate YOU.

I won't wear black tomorow, no.
 I know you'll understand.
