When I come to the end of my journey
And I travel my last weary mile
Please tell them...And if you can-
Just forget if you can, that I ever frowned
And remember only the smile
Please tell them...And if you can
Forget unkind and sad words I have spoken
Remember the good I have done an seen
Forget that I ever had heartache
And remember that I was loved
Please tell them...And if you can
Forget that I've stumbled and bled
Remember I have fought some hard battles
And won, call in my best of days
Please tell them...And if you can
Then forget to grieve for my going
I would not have you sad for a day
Not for me. Don't cry. Not for me. Don't, please.
But in summer just gather something black
Remember that's all I wore even on hottest day
Come visit me but only once a year
Please tell them...And if you can
Come in the shade of evening
When the sun paints the sky in the west
Stand for a few moments beside me
And remember only my best
That's the only time I'll accept your tears happily
Please tell them...And if you can show them,
so that they know the closest of truth I held in secret
....I loved every person in my life and will carry on even in death
