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 it was worthwhile,

Knowing that 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.
