ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Lyrics by Bernd Harmsen tonight I am here, at dawn I'll be gone yesterday was long before my time there is no hurry, no need to press on tomorrow is far - way beyond my prime let us make merry, let's put on a show make the most of the time that we have say "Hello" when I come, say "farewell" when I go let me hear you sing while I'm not yet deaf stardust is what we once were and will be on our trip through eternity ashes to ashes, dust to dust eaten by worms, blown away by a gust ashes to ashes, dust to dust I was dead before I was born and I'll be dead again rather soon I won't mind if you cheer or mourn 'cause I'll be as cold and dumb as the moon stardust is what we once were and will be on our trip through eternity ashes to ashes, dust to dust eaten by worms, blown away by a gust ashes to ashes, dust to dust I am to you, as you are to me, a blessing, a moment in time stardust is what we once were and will be on our trip through eternity ashes to ashes, dust to dust eaten by worms, blown away by a gust ashes to ashes, dust to dust ashes to ashes, dust to dust
