For A Dancer - Jackson Browne. Found this great version this morning...

I can' help feeling stupid standing around,
Crying as they ease you down,
Because I know you'd rather we were dancing,
Dancing our sorrow away.

Into a dancer you have grown,
From a seed somebody else has thrown.
Go ahead, and throw some seeds of your own,
And sometime between the time you arrive and the time you go,
May live a reason you were alive - but you'll never know.
