Remember Me
Fill not your heart with pain and sorrow,
but remember me in every tomorrow.
Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles;
I've only gone to rest a little while.

Although my leaving causes pain and grief,
my going has eased my hurt and given me relief.

So dry your eyes and remember me,
not as I am now, but as I used to be.
Because I will remember you,
and look on with a smile.

Understand in your heart,
I've only gone to rest a little while.

As long as I have the love of each of you,
I can live my life in the hearts of all of you.
