Don't remember me with sadness,

Don't remember me with tears,

Remember all the Laughter,

We shared through all the years.

Now I am Content,

Now my Life was worthwhile,

Knowing that I passed

Along the way,

I made somebody Smile.

When you are walking along the Street,

And you got me on your Mind,

I'm walking in your footsteps,

Only a Half-of-Step behind.

So please, Don't be unhappy,

Just because I'm out of Sight,

Remember I am with You.

Every morning, noon and Night.
