“I’ve Had The Time Of My Life” – performed by Jennifer Warnes and Bill Medley
Now I’ve had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it’s the truth
and I owe it all to you
‘Cause I’ve had the time of my life
and I owe it all to you
I’ve been waiting for so long
Now I’ve finally found someone
To stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical
Fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes
There’s no way we could disguise it
Secretly
So we take each other’s hand
‘Cause we seem to understand
The urgency just remember
You’re the one thing
I can’t get enough of
So I’ll tell you something
This could be love because
CHORUS:
I’ve had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it’s the truth
And I owe it all to you
With my body and soul
I want you more than you’ll ever know
So we’ll just let it go
Don’t be afraid to lose control
Yes I know what’s on your mind
When you say, “Stay with me tonight”
Just remember
You’re the one thing
I can’t get enough of
So I’ll tell you something
This could be love because
Some people would want their families to play lively and happy songs during their funerals instead of the mellow and sad songs. This could be stipulated when people get funeral planning.
One of the lively yet meaningful songs that you can play during a funeral is “I’ve Had The time Of My Life” performed by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes. This is not the typical song for funerals because the tempo is upbeat but if the deceased is a fan of the movie Dirty Dancing and was known to be adventurous, fun, spontaneous and free, then this song will be the perfect choice for him.
Through this music, people in the funeral will see the personality of the departed and they will be able to feel the importance of having a contented life. As many philosophers say, we only live once so you need to make the most out of it. The lyrics of this song are perfect for this philosophy because they talk about having no regrets in life especially when they have spent it with the people that they love.
The love that is mentioned in the song does not only mean love for your partner but it may also imply love for art, love for music, love for humanity, and love for life. The song even says, “Don’t be afraid to lose control” which is a very good line to reinforce how much people should try to do whatever it is that will make them happy.
