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 someone smile.
When you are walking down the street and you've got me on your mind,
I'm walking in your footsteps only a half a step behind.
So please don't be unhappy, just because I am out of sight.
Remember that I am with you morning, noon and night.
