Oh, ok.
This isn't a PJ song but it's one of the songs I want played @ my funeral
Good Riddance-Green Day Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
Take Good Care of Yourself
Make sure the fortune that you seek
Is the fortune that you need
I have loved this song since I was 10.
Makes me cry everytime I listed to it.
Seasons In The Sun
Goodbye to you, my trusted friend.
We've known each other since we're nine or ten.
Together we climbed hills and trees.
Learned of love and ABC's,
skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.
Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die,
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
Pretty girls are everywhere.
When you see them I'll be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the hills that we climbed
were just seasons out of time.
Goodbye, Papa, please pray for me,
I was the black sheep of the family.
You tried to teach me right from wrong.
Too much wine and too much song,
wonder how I get along.
Goodbye, Papa, it's hard to die
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
Little children everywhere.
When you see them I'll be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the wine and the song,
like the seasons, all have gone.
Goodbye, Michelle, my little one.
You gave me love and helped me find the sun.
And every time that I was down
you would always come around
and get my feet back on the ground.
Goodbye, Michelle, it's hard to die
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
With the flowers ev'rywhere.
I whish that we could both be there.
Make sure the fortune that you seek
Is the fortune that you need
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.
Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.
Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.
Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Make sure the fortune that you seek
Is the fortune that you need
Yes, I understand that every life must end, uh-huh
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, uh-huh
Oh I'm a lucky man, to count on both hands the ones I love
Some folks just have one, yeah, others, they've got none
Stay with me...
Let's just breathe...
Practiced all my sins, never gonna let me win, uh-huh
Under everything, just another human being, uh-huh
I don't wanna hurt, there's so much in this world to make me bleed
Stay with me
You're all I see...
Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see
No one knows this more than me
As I come clean...
I wonder everyday, as I look upon your face, uh-huh
Everything you gave
And nothing you would save, oh no
Nothing you would take
Everything you gave...
Did I say that I need you?
Oh, did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see
No one knows this more than me
And I come clean, ah...
Nothing you would take
Everything you gave
Hold me til I die
Meet you on the other side...
Make sure the fortune that you seek
Is the fortune that you need
I cannot convey in words the sympathy I feel for your loss.
Keep the lyrics going bump:
Black
Sheets of empty canvas.
Untouched sheets of clay were laid spread out before me as her body once did.
All five horizons revolved around her soul. As the earth to the sun.
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn.
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything.
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore.
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds of what was everything.
All the pictures have all been washed in black. Tattooed everything.
I take a walk outside. I'm surrounded by some kids at play.
Oh, I can feel their laughter. Oh, so why do I sear?
Ooh, and twisted thoughts that spin around my head.
I'm spinning. Oh, I'm spinning.
How quick the sun can drop away.
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything.
All the pictures have all been washed in black. Tattooed everything.
All the love gone bad turned my world to black.
Tattooed all I see. All that I am. All I'll be. Yeah.
Uh huh... Uh huh... Ooh.
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life.
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky but why, why, why can't it be, oh, can't it be mine?

I'm sorry I don't have lyrics to share. I'm speechless.
thank you...it is hard but music.. esp pj will help beyond....
weird...first time in car after....lynyand skynard "only son" played..a fav of his because he is..just hit weird
I'm a STRONG believer that those things don't happen coincidentally. Cherish those moments.
I am very sorry for your loss.I too believe that instances such as hearing his favorite song in your first car ride are not coincidence.After my Grampa died my sister and i were driving in our old car and we were talking about him when the radio,which was off, came on by itself right in the middle of refrain of the lyric "I'm still alive".Still get goosebumps to this day.In addition to the love and support of your family, friends and well-wishers, may you find some peace and comfort through the amazing music that everyone has been suggesting above! Present Tense always makes me think about the joy and wonder of this beautiful mystery we call life.Take Care.

I'm thumbing my way back to heaven
I wish that i could hold you
I wish that i had
Thinking 'bout heaven
I listened to this song over and over last November when my wife's Dad passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. The strength I got from listening to PJ was amazing....

Thank you…..my Pearl Jam family for all your input on lyrics and support at this difficult time. I felt the need to mention his/our love for Pearl Jam at his memorial and at the beautiful military service at Fort Indiantown Gap National Cemetery.
At a future concert, I hope to flash a smile or have a conversation of our love for PJ to each of you.

My husband passed away today(3/23/13). We have been together since the 1st day we met 2/14/87.
He more than tolerated my love for PJ.
I would very much appreciate any Pearl Jam lyrics to help get though this or to use in a service.
Thank you for your consideration.
UPDATE:
Thanks for all posts and pm’s. Pearl Jam was so much a part of our lives; I had to pay tribute to this fact in my husband’s passing by requesting any memorial contributions to Vitalogy Foundation. I truly think he would be pleased with this.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I, too, lost my love very recently and I missed your post. In these past few weeks, I have come to hear some PJ songs with new ears. The ones that struck me the most are "Light Years", "Long Road", Come Back", "Goodbye", "Last Kiss".
I hope you find some solace in these most painful times. This community has been amazing for me and I know that we will be here for you. Donation made, btw.
Cheers and be well,
Brian
Seen the Best Rock Band on the Planet a few times here and there.
I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel
Remembering you standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in, holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering you running soft through the night
You were bigger, brighter and whiter than snow
Screamed at the make believe, screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage to let it all go
Remembering you fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white, so delicate lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering you, how you used to be
Slow drowned you were angels, so much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes but I never see anything
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you
Looking so long at these pictures of you
And never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
And always just breaking apart, my pictures of you
There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart, my pictures of you....

Seasons In The Sun
Goodbye to you, my trusted friend.
We've known each other since we're nine or ten.
Together we climbed hills and trees.
Learned of love and ABC's,
skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.
Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die,
when all the birds are singing in the sky,

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the hills that we climbed

Is the fortune that you need
since "Long Road" has already been posted.
The End
What were all those dreams we shared
Those many years ago?
What were all those plans we made
Now left beside the road?
Behind us in the road
More than friends I always pledged
Cause friends they come and go
People change as does everything
I wanted to grow old
Just want to grow old
Slide on next to me
I'm just a human being
I will take the blame
But just the same
This is not me
You see
Believe
I'm better than this
Don't leave me so cold
Or buried beneath the stones
I just want to hold on
And know I'm worth your love
Enough
I don't think
There's such a thing
It's my fault, Now I been caught
A sickness in my bones
How it pains to leave you here
With the kids on your own
Just don't let me go
Help me see myself
Cause I can no longer tell
Looking out from the inside of
The bottom of a well
It's hell
I yell
But no one hears
Before I disappear
Whisper in my ear
Give me something to echo
In my unknown futures ear
My dear
The End
Comes near
I'm here
But not much longer
"Forgive every being,
the bad feelings
it's just me"
Everybody Hurts
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.
Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.
Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.
Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.

The Cure- Pictures of You
I've been looking so long at these pictures of you

And you finally found all your courage to let it all go
Remembering you fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white, so delicate lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering you, how you used to be
Slow drowned you were angels, so much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
