Remember me, Don't remember me with sadness, Don't remember me with tears, remember all the good times, shared throughout the years, Now I am contented, that my life was worthwhile, Because I know by loving you, That I made you smile! Just because I'm out of sight, Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon, and night.
