Now +here’s not a dry eye in the house After love’s curtain comes down Listen and you’ll hear the sound Hear the sound of a heart breaking, breaking Not a smile left on my face The ending’s just too sad to take And there’s not a dry eye, not a dry eye in the house (Meatloaf) At Michael's request no funeral service will be held.
