When I'm Gone

When the last day comes that I close my eyes
When all the lights burn out and my shadow dies
When that day finally comes and it's my time to go
Please remember me in the best picture you know

When the day comes that I'm gone forever
And it's impossible for us to ever get together
Try to remember all the good times that we had
Just be happy that we met; I know that I'm glad

But I'll be too far away to lend you a helping hand
And I can't hug you or hold you, so please understand
I can't rock you to sleep whenever you come crying
And I can't wipe your tears away and that's terrifying

I'll be too far away but I'll always be by your side
I can't touch you, but you'll feel me in every stride
My spirit will be present through the things you love and hate
But I won't be coming home, so please don't wait

Just pray for me, and cherish the moments that we had
Feel some happiness for our memories; don't drown in the sad
When I'm gone, don't wallow in sorrow, but prepare for a new start
And just know that for forever, I'll always be in your heart
