When I am gone from life
Don’t cry any tears
Forget the bad times that we shared
Remember happy years
The cruel words that were spoken
Remove them from your mind
Embrace the words of love we shared
Whispers of a loving kind
We had some hardened battles
And days of endless fun
I wish we had more time
From when life had begun
When I’m just a memory
Do not dwell on the past
Live with me inside your heart
Let our minds last
Seasons they will come and go
The memories may fade
But I am with you in times of need
Never be afraid
So raise a glass in times of doubt
Every year
I may have left in person
But my eternal spirit’s near
Smile the way I remember
Play my favourite song
Don’t be down for I am here
Even though I’m gone
