I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one.

I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when day is done.

I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,

Of happy times and laughing times

And bright and sunny days.

I'd like the tears of those who

grieve, to dry before the sun

Of happy memories that I leave

behind when the day is done.
