When I'm Gone

When I come to the end of my journey

And I travel my last weary mile,

Just forget if you can, that I ever frowned

And remember only the smile.

Forget unkind words I have spoken;

Remember the good I have done,

Forget that I ever had a heartache

And remember I've had loads of fun.

Forget that I have stumbled and blundered

And sometimes fell by the way.

Remember I have fought

Some hard battles and won,

Ere the close of the day,

Please forget to grieve for my going,

I would not have you sad for a day,

But in moments of weakness, think of my smile,

And remember the peace i attain

Then come in the evening

When the sun paints the sky in the west,

Stand for a few moments beside me

And remember only my best.
