Week Of: 2008-07-20
Song: The Day I Die
Artist: H-Town
Album: Imitations of Life

Dedicated to O'Dell Daniels Sr, this song is haunting as it's about the day you die, and was sung by Dino shortly before he died. Talk about a haunting tribute. Still, the song is well done by Dino and shows some of the impressive work the group was coming back with on their return album. So savor it, and pay tributes to the late Dino Conner!
[Spoken]
This is how I feel
On that ending day of my life
Yet I am not afraid
So I want you to enjoy my eternal vision

16 chariots
On the one that carries me away
Filled with the people that I love
While death embails me away
6 pallbearers buttoned in a suit
White in gloves on the hands to salute
Seven ministers to pray me a prayer
For the ones I've treated unfair
Mama dear by my side while I go to the grave
One who come and say that I gave
This will be fine
On that day
On that day that I die

I want the deacon on that day
I want my mama to love and say
I want my mama to stand right by my side
While I take that heavenly ride
I want Dino, Shazam, GI and
Be by my side while I go to the grave
I want the little ones to stand and shine
I want every one to know that I'm gon be fine on that day I die

[Chorus X 2]
On the day I come to die
We must all face death some time
On the day I come to die
Can god sing his songs on high

I pray to be ready that day
I pray that God take my soul away
Hold me in his bousom all night long
Hold me tight hold me tight for eternity
I also pray when I leave they take close care of my family
My little daugter, my child that's all I needed to know
Will they do it for me the day that I die

[Chorus X 2]
On the day I come to die
We must all face death some time
On the day I come to die
Can god sing his songs on high
