When I come to the end of my journey And I travel my last weary mile, Just forget, if you can, that I ever frowned And only remember the smile. Forget unkind words I have spoken Remember some good I have done Forget that I ever had heartache And remember I’ve had lots of fun. Forget that I’ve stumbled and blundered And sometimes fell by the way Remember I have fought some hard battles And won, ere the close of the day. Then forget to grieve for my going I would not have you sad for a day But in summer just gather some flowers, And remember the place where I lay. And come in the shade of the evening When the sun paints the sky in the west Stand for a few moments beside me And remember only my best.
