Gone Golfing
If the round should start without me
Because I have passed away
Cherish the swings that we once made
And please continue to play
For I'll be watching from a gallery
With a magnificent view
With friends and family from the past
All cheering with pride for you
May each tricky putt find the hole
Your drives fly far and straight
And when you've taken your final shot
Let's meet at the Pearly Gates
I'll have tee time booked in Heaven
On the grandest course of all
And we'll go golfing once again
Chasing that little white ball
