                                        John Denver -  Forest Lawn слова песни 
                                    
                                    
                             
                            
                            
                                
     
 
                                                                     
Oh, lay me down in Forest Lawn in a silver casket 
With golden flowers over my head in a silver basket 
The drum and bugle corp play taps while cannons roar 
Sixteen liveried employees sell souvenirs from the funeral store 
 
I wanna go simply when I go 
They`ll give me a simple funeral there I know 
With the casket lined in fleece 
And the fireworks spelling out "Rest in Peace" 
So take me when I`m gone to Forest Lawn 
 
Oh, lay me down in forest lawn they understand there 
They have a heavenly choir in the military band there 
Just put me in their care I`ll find my comfort there 
With sixteen planes in the last salute they`ll drop a cross from  
a parachute 
 
I wanna go simply when I go 
They`ll give me a simple funeral there I know 
With a hundred strolling strings 
And topless dancers with golden wings 
Oh, take me when I`m gone to forest lawn 
 
Oooh, come, come, come, come 
Come to the church in the wild wood 
Kindly leave a contribution in the pail 
Be as simple and as trusting as a child would 
And we`ll sell you the church in the dale 
 
To find a simple resting place is my desire 
To lay me down with a smiling face comes a little bit higher 
my likeness cast in brass will stand in plastic grass 
While hidden weights and springs tip his hat to the mourners filing past 
 
I wanna go simply when I go 
They`ll give me a simple funeral there I know 
I`ll lie beneath the sand 
With piped-in tapes of Billy Graham 
Oh, take me when I`m gone to forest lawn 
 
Rock of ages cleft for me for a slightly higher fee 
Oh, take me when I`m gone to Forest Lawn
