Don't remember me with tears,
Remember all the laughter,
We've shared throughout the years,
Now I am content,
That my life it was worthwhile,
Knowing that I passed along the way
I made somebody smile.
When you are walking down the street
And you've got me on your mind,
I'm walking your footsteps
Only half a step behind.
So please don't be unhappy
Just becuase I'm out of sight,
Remember that I'm with you
Each morning, noon and night.
