today is her funeral i got ready in my grey dress along with my mate tris she looked beautiful 

"ready" she asked and i nodded looking in the mirror one last time then i left with her out the door to the white horses that carried my best friend in a casket  that was one of the six this she asked for so i did it we all walked her to were she was going to be burned we walked throw the forest pasted the river over 3 hills into a clearing and we got to her favorite place under a willow tree were we have are names carved and under it says best friends forever that is were we started the funeral

we were standing at the grave site were everyone was dressed in grey the color of Elizabeth wolf i cried as they blessed her soul and her way to heaven listening to the prayer that we all bowed are heads to wishing my best friend the best as the tears fall from my eyes we finished and as a best friend i gave Elizabeth the second thing that she had i asked Ed Sheeran to sing at her funeral and he did i listened to his voice singing afire love i felt his words as he started to sing

Things were all good yesterday
And then the devil took your memory
And if you fell to your death today
I hope that heaven is your resting place
I heard the doctors put your chest in pain
But then that could have been the medicine
And now you're lying in the bed again
Either way I'll cry with the rest of them.

And my father told me, "Son,
It's not his fault he doesn't know your face,
And you're not the only one.
Although my grandma used to say, he used to say...

Darling hold me in your arms the way you did last night
And we'll lie inside, a little while he wrote
I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up
And we're wrapped in light, in life, in love.
Put your open lips on mine and slowly let them shut
For they're designed to be together oh
With your body next to mine our hearts will beat as one
And we're set alight, we're afire love, love, love oh.

Things were all good yesterday
Then the devil took your breath away
And now we're left here in the pain
Black suit, black tie standin' in the rain
And now my family is one again
Stapled together with the strangers and a friend.
Came to my mind I should paint it with a pen
Six years old I remember when.

And my father told me, "Son,
It's not his fault he doesn't know your face,
And you're not the only one.
Although my grandma used to say, he used to say...

Darling hold me in your arms the way you did last night
And we'll lie inside, a little while he wrote
I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up
And we're wrapped in light, in life, in love.
Put your open lips on mine and slowly let them shut
For they're designed to be together oh
With your body next to mine our hearts will beat as one
And we're set alight, we're afire love, love, love oh

And my father and all of my family
Rise from the seats to sing hallelujah
And my mother and all of my family
Rise from the seats to sing hallelujah
And my brother and all of my family
Rise from the seats to sing hallelujah
And all of my brothers and my sisters, yeah
And my father and all of my family
Rise from the seats to sing hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hall hallelujah
Hallelujah

after he sang he left and the thirdshe asked was done we throw in all of her favorite flowers roses,violets, lillys, all three in all the colors they came with then we set her on fire that was what she wanted so we gave it to her 

next i stood by the picture of her and looked to the crowed "this is another thing my dear elizabeth asked for " i said as the music played  and i started to sing she will be loved by maroon 5

She Will Be Loved

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved,
And she will be loved,
And she will be loved,
And she will be loved

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

[in the background]
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye

Yeah
[softly]




I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Try so hard to say goodbye
