Don’t remember me with sadness,
Don’t remember me with tears;
Remember all the laughter
We’ve had throughout the years.
 
Then when the summer sunshine
Awakes the flowers in bloom,
I’ll walk that light from Heaven,
Around the corners of every room.
 
Do the things we did before,
The same in every way;
Just whisper a little prayer to me,
At the dawn of every day.
 
Just think of me as present,
Don’t think of me as past;
For my love is a blessing
In death it still can last.
 
Forget your troubles and your worries,
They are mine for ever more;
I’ll watch and care and love you,
From Heaven’s open door.
 
And when your road gets rough and rocky,
Or you’re down and need a crutch;
Remember I’m right beside you,
Just an inch too short to touch.
