Remember me with smiles not tears,
For all the joy through all the years
Recall the closeness that was ours,
A love as sweet as fragrant flowers

Don’t dwell on thoughts that cause you pain,
We’ll see each other once again
I am at peace—try to believe.
It was my time—I had to leave.

But what a view I have from here,
I see your face, I feel you near,
I follow you throughout the day,
You’re not alone along the way.

And when God calls you- you will be,
Right by my side – right here with me.
Till then, I’ll wait by Heaven’s door,
We’ll be united – evermore!
