REMEMBER ME

Don’t remember me with sadness,

Don’t remember me with tears,

Remember all the laughter

We’ve shared throughout the years.

Now I am contented

That my life was worthwhile,

Knowing as I passed along the way

I made somebody smile.

When you are walking down the street

And you’ve got me on your mind,

I’m walking in your footsteps

Only half a step behind.

So please don’t be unhappy

Just because I’m out of sight,

Remember that I’m with you

Each morning, noon and night.
