My Will states that Mr Blue Sky by ELO is my choice.

I like it

Although quite jolly, the last verse gets a little darker with:
‘Mister Blue, you did it right, but soon comes Mr Night,
Creeping over, now his hand is on your shoulder,
Never mind, I’ll remember you this, I’ll remember you this way’

My first choice has always been "Little Wing" by Jimi Hendrix

Highwayman by The Highwaymen

I like it

I fly a starship
Across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again
