Don'T Cry For Me When I'M Gone
Treat people well while they're alive. It's too late to be sad and experience grief and regret once they're gone. Unfortunately, too many people experience this, and it can often be avoided.
Don't cry for me when I'm gone

Don't cry for me when I'm gone
Do not lament the loss
For nothing can change
It's too late to count the cost
My ghost won't stick around
For my soul is heavenbound
I am free from you and pain
I am free from human pride
Treat me well in this moment
Give that genuine smile now
Flowers and chocolate treats
Are memorable and lovely wows
Make the most of our time together
You never know what comes next
The stars align and destinies merge
The Universe has its quest
Don't cry for me when I'm gone
It's way too late to show me you care
Give me love and friendship while I'm alive
Show me empathy and kind effort
For we only have one life
And we only get limited chances
Make the most of your relationships
And leave warmth in all our hearts
