Remember
When I'm gone remember how I used to smile
How I used to comfort you and hold you for a while
Remember too the good times when we laughed and sang together
And even so the bad times when we conquered stormy weather
Weep for just a little while for that will help your soul
Don't dwell upon the sadness for that will take its toll
For I have had a good life, been blessed with many things
With a family that loved me and the joy that loving brings
Ive known a life of brightness, of beauty and of smiles
Been blessed with friends - so many - for such a long, long while
For know that I am with you wherever you may go
I'll sprinkle you with fairy dust, and cool your face with snow
I'll shine upon your laughter and hold you oh so tight
I'll touch your hand in darkness; walk beside you in the light
And when the sun shines brightly or your face is damp with rain
In every coloured rainbow you'll see my face again
I'll never truly be away for in your heart I'll stay
And I will always love you, forever and a day
So live your life in earnest, unto yourself be true
Take heed of all the blessings that life has given you
Don't dwell upon the sad things, the cruelty or the pain
Forgive me if I've hurt you, and smile for me again
Be loved, be kind, be happy, be strong and brave and free
Be the very, very best that only you can be
By doing this my dearest ones, you'll be doing it for me
